Psalm 63
Ps 63:1-11.
The historical occasion referred to by the title was probably during
Absalom's rebellion (compare
2Sa 15:23, 28; 16:2).
David expresses an earnest desire for God's favor, and a confident
expectation of realizing it in his deliverance and the ruin of his
enemies.
1. early . . . seek thee--earnestly
(Isa 26:9).
The figurative terms--
dry and thirsty--literally, "weary," denoting moral destitution,
suited his outward circumstances.
soul--and--flesh--the whole man
(Ps 16:9, 10).
2. The special object of desire was God's perfections as displayed
in his worship
(Ps 27:4).
3. Experiencing God's mercy, which exceeds all the blessings of life,
his lips will be opened for his praise
(Ps 51:15).
4. Thus--literally, "Truly."
will I bless--praise Thee
(Ps 34:1).
lift up my hands--in worship (compare
Ps 28:2).
in thy name--in praise of Thy perfections.
5-8. Full spiritual blessings satisfy his desires, and acts of
praise fill his thoughts and time.
6. night--as well as day. Past favors assure him of future, and
hence he presses earnestly near to God, whose power sustains him
(Ps 17:8; 60:5).
9, 10. those . . . to destroy it--or literally, "to ruin," or, "for
ruin"; that is, such as seek to injure me (are) for ruin, appointed
to it (compare
Ps 35:8).
shall go . . . earth--into the grave, or, to death; as their bodies
are represented as a portion for--
10. foxes--literally, "jackals."
11. the king--that is, David himself, and all who reverence God,
"shall share a glorious part," while treacherous foes shall be for ever
silenced
(Ps 62:4).
