Psalm 81
Concise Complete
God is praised for what he has done for his people. (1-7) Their
obligations to him. (8-16)
Verses 1-7 All the
worship we can render to the Lord is beneath his excellences, and our
obligations to him, especially in our redemption from sin and wrath. What God
had done on Israel's behalf, was kept in remembrance by public solemnities. To
make a deliverance appear more gracious, more glorious, it is good to observe
all that makes the trouble we are delivered from appear more grievous. We ought
never to forget the base and ruinous drudgery to which Satan, our oppressor,
brought us. But when, in distress of conscience, we are led to cry for
deliverance, the Lord answers our prayers, and sets us at liberty. Convictions
of sin, and trials by affliction, prove his regard to his people. If the Jews,
on their solemn feast-days, were thus to call to mind their redemption out of
Egypt, much more ought we, on the Christian sabbath, to call to mind a more
glorious redemption, wrought out for us by our Lord Jesus Christ, from worse
bondage.
Verses 8-16 We
cannot look for too little from the creature, nor too much from the Creator. We
may have enough from God, if we pray for it in faith. All the wickedness of the
world is owing to man's wilfulness. People are not religious, because they will
not be so. God is not the Author of their sin, he leaves them to the lusts of
their own hearts, and the counsels of their own heads; if they do not well, the
blame must be upon themselves. The Lord is unwilling that any should perish.
What enemies sinners are to themselves! It is sin that makes our troubles long,
and our salvation slow. Upon the same conditions of faith and obedience, do
Christians hold those spiritual and eternal good things, which the pleasant
fields and fertile hills of Canaan showed forth. Christ is the Bread of life; he
is the Rock of salvation, and his promises are as honey to pious minds. But
those who reject him as their Lord and Master, must also lose him as their
Saviour and their reward.
