Texts -- Psalms 9:13-20 (NET)

Context
9:13 when they prayed: “Have mercy on me, Lord ! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death ! 9:14 Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts ; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance .” 9:15 The nations fell into the pit they had made ; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden . 9:16 The Lord revealed himself; he accomplished justice ; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions . (Higgaion . Selah ) 9:17 The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol ; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God , 9:18 for the needy are not permanently ignored , the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed . 9:19 Rise up , Lord ! Don’t let men be defiant ! May the nations be judged in your presence ! 9:20 Terrify them, Lord ! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah )

  • The fact that his enemy sat in his presence at that very moment evidently made the king pause before issuing his obvious verdict. He wanted to think about it for a moment and walked out into his garden to do so. Upon returnin...

  • The messianic psalms are perhaps the most commonly known type. They predict the coming of a messiah. Franz Delitzsch broke these psalms down into five kinds. The first is the purely prophetic, which predicts that a future Dav...

  • The title of this psalm identifies the writer as David. All but four of the psalms in Book 1 of the Psalter (Pss. 1-41) identify David as their writer, all except Psalms 1, 2, 10, and 33. The occasion of his writing this one ...
  • The Septuagint translators combined Psalms 9 and 10 into one psalm even though they are separate in the Hebrew text.41They evidently did so for two reasons. First, together they complete an acrostic in which each verse (almos...
  • Since God had proved faithful to uphold the afflicted righteous in the past, David called on Him to deliver him from his present evil enemies.9:13-14 The psalmist appealed for God's grace in defense from the attacks of those ...
  • 10:12-15 David appealed to God to act for the righteous against the wicked. He could not understand why God allowed the wicked to continue to spurn Him. It was not because their actions had escaped the Lord's notice. Beside t...
  • 41:10 David had asked God to restore his health so he might repay his enemies. This may seem to be an unworthy motive in view of the Lord Jesus' instruction to love our enemies and do them good (Matt. 5:44). However, individu...
  • 57:6 Now David spoke of himself as a wild animal whom hunters were trying to snare. However, he believed that his hunters would fall into their own trap (cf. 7:15; 9:15; 35:8).57:7-10 In anticipation of his deliverance David ...
  • This is one of the acrostic psalms (cf. Pss. 9, 10; 25; 34; 37; 112; 119; and 145). Each line in the Hebrew text begins with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The writer evidently expressed his thoughts this way so the ...

  • 16:18 "I say to you"(cf. 5:18, 20, 22, 28, 32, 34, 39, 44; 8:10) may imply that Jesus would continue the revelation the Father had begun. However the phrase occurs elsewhere where that contrast is not in view. Undoubtedly it ...
