Psalm 81
Ps 81:1-16.
Gittith--(See on
Ps 8:1,
title). A festal Psalm, probably for the passover (compare
Mt 26:30),
in which, after an exhortation to praise God, He is introduced,
reminding Israel of their obligations, chiding their neglect, and
depicting the happy results of obedience.
1. our strength--
(Ps 38:7).
2. unites the most joyful kinds of music, vocal and instrumental.
3. the new moon--or the month.
the time appointed--(Compare
Pr 7:20).
5. a testimony--The feasts, especially the passover, attested God's
relation to His people.
Joseph--for Israel
(Ps 80:1).
went out through--or, "over," that is, Israel in the exodus.
I heard--change of person. The writer speaks for the nation.
language--literally, "lip"
(Ps 14:1).
An aggravation or element of their distress that their oppressors were
foreigners
(De 28:49).
6. God's language alludes to the burdensome slavery of the Israelites.
7. secret place--the cloud from which He troubled the Egyptians
(Ex 14:24).
proved thee--
(Ps 7:10; 17:3)
--tested their faith by the miracle.
8. (Compare
Ps 50:7).
The reproof follows to
Ps 81:12.
if thou wilt hearken--He then propounds the terms of His covenant:
they should worship Him alone, who
(Ps 81:10)
had delivered them, and would still confer all needed blessings.
11, 12. They failed, and He gave them up to their own desires and
hardness of heart
(De 29:18;
Pr 1:30;
Ro 11:25).
13-16. Obedience would have secured all promised blessings and the
subjection of foes. In this passage, "should have," "would have," &c.,
are better, "should" and "would" expressing God's intention at the time,
that is, when they left Egypt.
