Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:1-23

Psalms 50:1-23This is the first of the Asaph psalms, and is separated from the other eleven (Psalms 73:1-28; Psalms 74:1-23; Psalms 75:1-10; Psalms 76:1-12; Psalms 77:1-20; Psalms 78:1-72; Psalms 79:1-13; Psalms 80:1-19; Psalms 81:1-16; Psalms 82:1-8; Psalms 83:1-18) for reasons that do not appear. Probably they are no more recondite than the verbal resemblance between the summons to all the earth at the beginning of Psalms 49:1 and the similar proclamation in the first verses of Psalms... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 50:1-23

Psalms 50:0 The Demands of a Righteous God 1. His coming and His call (Psalms 50:1-6 ) 2. The God of Israel speaks (Psalms 50:7-13 ) 3. The demands of righteousness (Psalms 50:16-21 ) Psalms 50:1-23 ; Psalms 51:1-19 belong together. In the first God is described coming to Israel, proclaiming His righteousness and demanding righteousness from His people and in the second Israel makes confession of sin. Psalms 50:1-23 is by Asaph. He describes the Lord shining out of Zion, coming in glory... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 50:1-23

Psalms 38:0 An appeal to God from chastisement because of iniquity (Psalms 38:1-4 ). The mental anguish is described in figures of physical disease, and yet it is not impossible that such disease may have been part of the chastisement (Psalms 38:5-8 ). The desertion of friends and the opposition of enemies also entered into it (Psalms 38:10-17 ). There are verses susceptible of an application to Christ, but others would prevent its application as a whole to him. Psalms 40:0 Messianic (compare... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 50:1-23

Religion Nothing Without Morality Psalms 50:0 This is a psalm of Asaph. This is the first psalm of Asaph found in this section of the Psalter. Every man must speak in his own natural style, and the style of this leader of choir, who was also a poet, is a style of supreme loftiness and majesty, which would not become the narrower capacity, the lower intellect, of meaner men. We must join him where we can in this song of thunder. He will affright us, as majesty affrights some visions; yet he... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 50:7-14

Here is a solemn appeal to God's ancient people, the Jews, on the subject of sacrifices. What language here is, to show in what light sacrifices under the law ought to have been regarded, and with what view they were appointed. How sweetly is the gospel preached here, even from the law. Galatians 3:24-25 . read more

马太.亨利

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 50:7-15

7-15 To obey is better than sacrifice, and to love God and our neighbour better than all burnt-offerings. We are here warned not to rest in these performances. And let us beware of resting in any form. God demands the heart, and how can human inventions please him, when repentance, faith, and holiness are neglected? In the day of distress we must apply to the Lord by fervent prayer. Our troubles, though we see them coming from God's hand, must drive us to him, not drive us from him. We must... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 50:1-23

Of the True Service of God. A psalm of Asaph, one of the directors of the Temple-chorus at the time of David, distinguished for musical and poetical ability, 1 Chronicles 26. The hymn shows how the grandeur and solemnity of the divine judgment should instruct men in the true worship and encourage them in true piety. v. 1. The mighty God, even the Lord (in the Hebrew: El Elohim Jehovah), the God of gods, Jehovah, the supreme God of earth and heaven, hath spoken and called the earth from the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 50:1-23

Psalms 50:0A Psalm of Asaph          The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken,And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof2     Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,God hath shined.3     Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence:A fire shall devour before him,And it shall be very tempestuous round about him.4     He shall call to the heavens from above,And to the earth, that he may judge his people.5     Gather my saints together unto me;Those that have... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 50:1-15

Sacrifices Which God Desires Psalms 50:1-15 This is one of the most majestic compositions of this book. For literary power it cannot be excelled. The psalmist hears God calling the whole world from east to west. His presence is compared to the dawn and to a tropical storm. When He is seated on His throne, the heavens and the earth bear witness while He judges His people. Then up the crowded aisles His saints advance and stand before Him. There is no need to enlarge upon the spiritual insight... read more
