Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 34:16

(16) To cut off.—Notice the fear, so intense and recurring to the Semitic mind, of the extinction of race. (Comp. Psalms 21:10; Job 18:17, &c)This verse, according to the sense, should certainly change places with Psalms 34:15. This would disarrange the acrostic, bringing pe before ayin; but, as in Lamentations 2:3, Lamentations 2:4 the same sequence of letters occurs, we are led to the conclusion that the order of the alphabet was not definitely or invariably fixed in respect of these two... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 34:1-22

Daily Prayer Psalms 34:1-22 'As it is the special work of a shoemaker to make shoes,' said Luther, 'and of a tailor to make coats, so it is the special work of a Christian to pray.' The true artist is an artist everywhere. His work in his studio is only a part of his artist life. So must the pious soul be devoted to prayer; his prayers will be only a part of his praying life. The servants of Madame de Chantal used to say of their mistress: 'Madame's first Director made her pray three times a... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 34:1-22THE occasion of this psalm, according to the superscription, was that humiliating and questionable episode, when David pretended insanity to save his life from the ruler of Goliath’s city of Gath. The set of critical opinion sweeps away this tradition as unworthy of serious refutation. The psalm is acrostic, therefore of late date; there are no references to the supposed occasion; the careless scribe has blundered "blindly" (Hupfeld) in the king’s name, mixing up the stories about... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 34:1-22

Psalms 34:0 The Perfect Praise of His Redeemed People 1. His praise for salvation (Psalms 34:1-10 ) 2. The instructions of the righteous (Psalms 34:11-16 ) 3. His redemption remembered (Psalms 34:17-22 ) This is another alphabetical Psalm, only one letter is omitted. It is primarily the praise of David after his escape from Gath, as the inscription tells us. Prophetically it is the praise of His redeemed and delivered people, delivered from all their fears (Psalms 34:4 ) and saved out of... read more
