Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 6:1-7

These verses speak the language of a heart truly humbled under humbling providences, of a broken and contrite spirit under great afflictions, sent on purpose to awaken conscience and mortify corruption. Those heap up wrath who cry not when God binds them; but those are getting ready for mercy who, under God's rebukes, sow in tears, as David does here. Let us observe here, I. The representation he makes to God of his grievances. He pours out his complaint before him. Whither else should a child... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 6:7

Mine eye is consumed because of grief ,.... Either by reason of the affliction he laboured under, which could not he joyous, but grievous; or because, of the sin that was in him, and those that he had committed, which were grieving to him; or through the sins of other professors of religion, or profane sinners, whom he beheld with grief of heart and weeping eyes: the word F6 מכעס "prae ira", Pagninus; "prae indignatione", Montanus, Musculus; "ex indignatione", Piscator. used... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

The moan of a saint, and the mercy of his God. For the significance of the title of this psalm, see the Exposition. An expositor well remarks that the confessed uncertainty on the part of the best Hebrew scholars as to the meaning or many of the titles is a striking proof of their antiquity, since it shows that the clue thereto is lost in oblivion. This psalm belongs to those specified under the first head of our introductory homily, as one of those in which we have the strugglings and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

A cry to God, and its response. I. THE CRY OF THE FAINTING SOUL . Circumstances are adverse. There is gloom without and within. Conscience accuses. God seems full of wrath. Death is regarded, not as a release, but as the minister of judgment; and the grave, not as a quiet resting-place, but as a "pit," loathsome and terrible. Amidst the darkness, and with fears on every side: 1 . God ' s indignation is deprecated . Affliction is hard to bear; but with God's wrath it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Night and morning in the soul. I. NIGHT . There is darkness. God hides himself. There is dreariness. The soul is left alone with sad and distressing thoughts. There is depression. The ghosts of past misdeeds rise up. There are nameless terrors. But though perplexed, there need not be despair. God is near. He can help. He can even give songs in the night. II. MORNING . Light comes, bringing hope and peace. God has beard the cry of his child. Such deliverances are comforting. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Great afflictions, greater consolation. The language m this psalm may seem exaggerated and unreal. But it is not so. Want of imagination and sympathy in some, and want of experience in others, make them unfit judges. We neither know our strength nor our weakness till we are tried. The man who may have stood up to help others in their troubles may be cast down and disconsolate when visited with trouble himself ( Job 4:3-5 ). Learn— I. THAT THERE ARE WORSE AFFLICTIONS THAN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Deliverance from sore trouble. "In the malice of his enemies David sees the rod of God's chastisement, and, therefore makes his prayer to God for deliverance. The struggle has lasted so long, the grief is so bitter, that his health has given way, and he has been brought to the gates of the grave. But ere long light and peace visit him, and he breaks forth into the joy of thanksgiving." I. A PICTURE OF COMPLICATED DISTRESS . 1 . Danger from outward foes. Producing constant... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 6:7

Mine eye is consumed because of grief ; or, mine eye is wasted away because of provocation. The eye falls in, becomes dull, and, as it were, "wastes away" through long-continued grief (comp. Psalms 31:9 ). The kind of grief expressed by the word ka'as ( כַעַס ) is "that which arises from provocation or spiteful treatment" (Kay). It waxeth old because of all mine enemies . It becomes dull and heavy and sunken, like the eye of an old man. How often has it not been noted that... read more
