Psalm 9
Concise Complete
David praises God for protecting his people. (1-10) And for cause to
praise him. (11-20)
Verses 1-10 If we
would praise God acceptably, we must praise him in sincerity, with our whole
heart. When we give thanks for some one particular mercy, we should remember
former mercies. Our joy must not be in the gift, so much as in the Giver. The
triumphs of the Redeemer ought to be the triumphs of the redeemed. The almighty
power of God is that which the strongest and stoutest of his enemies are no way
able to stand before. We are sure that the judgment of God is according to
truth, and that with him there is no unrighteousness. His people may, by faith,
flee to him as their Refuge, and may depend on his power and promise for their
safety, so that no real hurt shall be done to them. Those who know him to be a
God of truth and faithfulness, will rejoice in his word of promise, and rest
upon that. Those who know him to be an everlasting Father, will trust him with
their souls as their main care, and trust in him at all times, even to the end;
and by constant care seek to approve themselves to him in the whole course of
their lives. Who is there that would not seek him, who never hath forsaken those
that seek Him?
Verses 11-20
Those who believe that God is greatly to be praised, not only desire to praise
him better themselves, but desire that others may join with them. There is a day
coming, when it will appear that he has not forgotten the cry of the humble;
neither the cry of their blood, or the cry of their prayers. We are never
brought so low, so near to death, but God can raise us up. If he has saved us
from spiritual and eternal death, we may thence hope, that in all our distresses
he will be a very present help to us. The overruling providence of God
frequently so orders it, that persecutors and oppressors are brought to ruin by
the projects they formed to destroy the people of God. Drunkards kill
themselves; prodigals beggar themselves; the contentious bring mischief upon
themselves: thus men's sins may be read in their punishment, and it becomes
plain to all, that the destruction of sinners is of themselves. All wickedness
came originally with the wicked one from hell; and those who continue in sin,
must go to that place of torment. The true state, both of nations and of
individuals, may be correctly estimated by this one rule, whether in their
doings they remember or forget God. David encourages the people of God to wait
for his salvation, though it should be long deferred. God will make it appear
that he never did forget them: it is not possible he should. Strange that man,
dust in his and about him, should yet need some sharp affliction, some severe
visitation from God, to bring him to the knowledge of himself, and make him feel
who and what he is.
