BIBLE COMMENTARIES

I. Introduction It is not clear what the setting of this psalm is, but perhaps to some degree it has to do with Cush of the tribe of Benjamin as related by the opening verses of the next psalm (Psalms 7:1-2, YLT). But there is more to it than that because David here bewails not […]

I. Introduction In this Psalm we find foreshadowed one of the most striking instances of New Testament Salvation as anywhere else in the Old Testament—David, a type of the Savior Jesus Christ, and at the same time a type of the sinner in need of Salvation by the Savior Jesus. David foreshadows both sides of

I. Introduction Our purpose is to render a commentary on psalm eight, a blessed Messianic psalm. We will follow this format: Verse of Scripture utilizing the YLT text followed by an NASB mouseover of that verse. Key words in the YLT text will be footnoted with a link to a word study based on the

I. Introduction We are going to forgo a detailed discussion of the setting of this psalm; generally speaking, it was probably occasioned by Absalom’s rebellion (2Sa 15:1-18:33).

I. Introduction Our purpose is to render a commentary on Psalm Twenty-Three, another of the blessed psalms by that great lover of Jehovah God David (Psa 18:1, at least!). Our psalm is one, blessed, continuous compliment (declarative praise) to Jehovah God the Shepherd (Gen 49:22-24, Psa 80:1, Mat 2:6, Hbr 13:20, 1Pe 5:4, et al.),

I. Introduction This blessed Psalm is a Psalm of David. Perhaps it was occasioned by David bringing the Ark of God to Jerusalem | Mount Zion (1Chronicles 15:1-3). It is the third of a three-Psalm Melody that resounds the great Name, even Jesus: Psalms Twenty-Two, He, Jesus the Lamb of God, forsaken, humiliated, in the
