■ 주석 보기
【시37:1 JFB】시37:1-40. A composed and uniform trust in God and a constant course of integrity are urged in view of the blessedness of the truly pious, contrasted in various aspects with the final ruin of the wicked. Thus the wisdom and justice of God's providence are vindicated, and its seeming inequalities, which excite the cavils of the wicked and the distrust of the pious, are explained. David's personal history abundantly illustrates the Psalm.
1, 2. The general sentiment of the whole Psalm is expressed. The righteous need not be vexed by the prosperity of the wicked; for it is transient, and their destiny undesirable.
【시37:1 CWC】Psalm 25.
In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i. e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A to Z.
Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every Psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given.
The purpose of the Commentary is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the Commentary from the beginning.
The more difficult Psalms, some of the more familiar and popular, and those distinctively Messianic and millennial may be treated more at length, but others must be passed over.
In the present instance the prayer is for defence (vv. 1-3), guidance (vv. 4, 5), forgiveness (vv. 6-11), etc., intermingled with testimony to the divine goodness (vv. 12-15).
Psalm 26.
Is another appeal to God on the basis of avowed integrity and innocence of the charges of enemies. Note the features of righteous character of which the psalmist speaks, as well as the description of his enemies. The Modern Reader's Bible names this Psalm, "Searchings of heart before worship."
Psalm 27.
Is called by the volume named above "An Anthem of Deliverance," and throughout it exhibits confidence, hope and joy, in God's worship, with prayer for help and guidance in danger. The secret of the psalmist's confidence is given in verse four as his delight in divine fellowship expressed in worshiping in God's tabernacle. God will protect and deliver him (vv. 5, 6). He will be more to him than earthly parents (v. 10). All he craves is guidance (v. 11). He concludes with counsel to others in a like case (vv. 13, 14).
Psalm 29.
"The Song of the Thunderstorm," encourages confidence in God by the celebration of His power in His dominion over the natural world. "Discovereth the forests" (v. 9) means "stripping them bare." In the midst of this sublimity God's worshipers cry, "Glory!" (R. V.)
Psalm 30.
States its occasion in the title, the reference being to David's own house or palace (compare 신20:5); 삼하5:11; 7:2).
Psalm 31.
Is a cry of one in distress, which some have referred to as the period of David's persecution by Saul at Keilah. Read 삼상23:1-15, and then note in the Psalm, verses 4, 8, 10-15, 20-22.
Psalm 32.
Reads like "David's Spiritual Biography." It is thought to have been written after his sin with Bath-sheba (2 Sam. 11, 12). He has been brought to repentance for that sin and forgiven (Psalm 51), and now is praising God for that forgiveness, and telling what led up to it. It opens with a general declaration of his blessedness and why (vv. 1, 2). This is followed by his experience before forgiveness and when he was undergoing conviction of sin (vv. 3, 4). Confession brought forgiveness (v. 5). Let others act similarly in the same circumstances (v. 6). See what God is to him now (v. 7). The Psalm takes the form of a dialogue at this point, and God speaks at verses eight and nine, which should be read in the Revised Version. The whole concludes with a warning and exhortation (vv. 10, 11).
Psalm 33.
Is one of praise. It opens with a general chorus (vv. 1-3). This is followed by a semi-chorus (vv. 4-11), a second semi-chorus (vv. 12-19), and a final chorus (vv. 20-22). To follow this division suggested by the Modern Reader's Bible, is to obtain a good idea of the several subjects.
Psalm 34.
Has its occasion indicated in the title which refers to 삼상21:13. The name there is Achish, but some think Abimelech was the general name given the sovereigns of Gath at that time (창20:2). This is also an acrostic, and from a musical point of view consists of an introduction (vv. 1, 2), solos and choruses. For one solo, see verses 3-6, and for another 11-14.
Psalm 35.
May be read in connection with 1 Samuel 24, which some regard as its occasion. A comparison of that chapter will throw light on the meaning of several of its expressions.
Psalm 37.
Is one of the most popular of the Psalms of trust and confidence, whose contents are illustrated in David's personal history. It is an acrostic, which requires little in the way of explanation to any heart who really knows God through Jesus Christ. The theme is the prosperity of the wicked with counsel as to how the child of God should act in regard to it.
【시37:1 MHCC】When we look abroad we see the world full of evil-doers, that flourish and live in ease. So it was seen of old, therefore let us not marvel at the matter. We are tempted to fret at this, to think them the only happy people, and so we are prone to do like them: but this we are warned against. Outward prosperity is fading. When we look forward, with an eye of faith, we shall see no reason to envy the wicked. Their weeping and wailing will be everlasting. The life of religion is a believing trust in the Lord, and diligent care to serve him according to his will. It is not trusting God, but tempting him, if we do not make conscience of our duty to him. A man's life consists not in abundance, but, Thou shalt have food convenient for thee. This is more than we deserve, and it is enough for one that is going to heaven. To delight in God is as much a privilege as a duty. He has not promised to gratify the appetites of the body, and the humours of the fancy, but the desires of the renewed, sanctified soul. What is the desire of the heart of a good man? It is this, to know, and love, and serve God. Commit thy way unto the Lord; roll thy way upon the Lord, so the margin reads it. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, the burden of thy care. We must roll it off ourselves, not afflict and perplex ourselves with thoughts about future events, but refer them to God. By prayer spread thy case and all thy cares before the Lord, and trust in him. We must do our duty, and then leave the event with God. The promise is very sweet: He shall bring that to pass, whatever it is, which thou has committed to him.
【시37:3 JFB】3. Trust—sure of safety.
shalt thou dwell—or, "dwell thou"; repose quietly.
verily … fed—or, "feed on truth," God's promise (시36:5; compare 호12:1).
【시37:4 JFB】4. desires—(시20:5; 21:2), what is lawful and right, really good (시84:11).
【시37:5 JFB】5. Commit thy way—(잠16:3). Works—what you have to do and cannot set forth as a burden.
trust … in him—literally, "on Him." He will do what you cannot (compare 시22:8; 31:6). He will not suffer your character to remain under suspicion.
【시37:7 JFB】7, 8. Rest in—literally, "Be silent to the Lord."
and wait—Be submissive—avoid petulance and murmurings, anger and rash doing.
【시37:7 MHCC】Let us be satisfied that God will make all to work for good to us. Let us not discompose ourselves at what we see in this world. A fretful, discontented spirit is open to many temptations. For, in all respects, the little which is allotted to the righteous, is more comfortable and more profitable than the ill-gotten and abused riches of ungodly men. It comes from a hand of special love. God provides plentifully and well, not only for his working servants, but for his waiting servants. They have that which is better than wealth, peace of mind, peace with God, and then peace in God; that peace which the world cannot give, and which the world cannot have. God knows the believer's days. Not one day's work shall go unrewarded. Their time on earth is reckoned by days, which will soon be numbered; but heavenly happiness shall be for ever. This will be a real support to believers in evil times. Those that rest on the Rock of ages, have no reason to envy the wicked the support of their broken reeds.
【시37:9 JFB】9. Two reasons: The prosperity of the wicked is short; and the pious, by humble trust, will secure all covenant blessing, denoted here by "inherit the earth" (compare 시25:13).
【시37:10 JFB】10, 11. shall not be—literally, "is not"—is not to be found.
【시37:11 JFB】11. peace—includes prosperity.
【시37:12 JFB】12. gnasheth … teeth—in beastly rage.
【시37:13 JFB】13. (Compare 시2:4).
seeth—knows certainly.
his day—of punishment, long delayed, shall yet come (히10:37).
【시37:14 JFB】14, 15. sword, and … bow—for any instruments of violence.
slay—literally, "slaughter" (삼상25:11).
poor and needy—God's people (시10:17; 12:5). The punishment of the wicked as drawn on themselves—often mentioned (compare 시7:15, 16; 35:8).
【시37:16 JFB】16. riches—literally, "noise and tumult," as incidental to much wealth (compare 시39:6). Thus the contrast with the "little" of one man is more vivid.
【시37:17 JFB】17. Even the members of the body needed to hold weapons are destroyed.
【시37:18 JFB】18, 19. God, who knows His people's changes, provides against evil and supplies all their need.
【시37:20 JFB】20. While the wicked, however mighty, are destroyed, and that utterly, as smoke which vanishes and leaves no trace.
【시37:21 JFB】21, 22. payeth not—not able; having grown poor (compare 신15:7). Ability of the one and inability of the other do not exclude moral dispositions. God's blessing or cursing makes the difference.
【시37:21 MHCC】The Lord our God requires that we do justly, and render to all their due. It is a great sin for those that are able, to deny the payment of just debts; it is a great misery not to be able to pay them. He that is truly merciful, will be ever merciful. We must leave our sins; learn to do well, and cleave to it. This is true religion. The blessing of God is the spring, sweetness, and security of all earthly enjoyments. And if we are sure of this, we are sure not to want any thing good for us in this world. By his grace and Holy Spirit, he directs the thoughts, affections, and designs of good men. By his providence he overrules events, so as to make their way plain. He does not always show them his way for a distance, but leads them step by step, as children are led. God will keep them from being ruined by their falls, either into sin or into trouble, though such as fall into sin will be sorely hurt. Few, if any, have known the consistent believer, or his children, reduced to abject, friendless want. God forsakes not his saints in affliction; and in heaven only the righteous shall dwell for ever; that will be their everlasting habitation. A good man may fall into the hands of a messenger of Satan, and be sorely buffeted, but God will not leave him in his enemy's hands.
【시37:22 JFB】22. cut off—opposed to "inherit the earth" (compare 레7:20, 21).
【시37:23 JFB】23, 24. steps—way, or, "course of life"; as ordered by God, failures will not be permanent.
【시37:26 JFB】26. his seed is blessed—literally, "for a blessing" (창12:2; 시21:6). This position is still true as the rule of God's economy (딤전4:8; 6:6).
【시37:27 JFB】27-29. The exhortation is sustained by the assurance of God's essential rectitude in that providential government which provides perpetual blessings for the good, and perpetual misery for the wicked.
【시37:30 JFB】30, 31. The righteous described as to the elements of character, thought, word, and action.
【시37:31 JFB】31. steps—or, "goings"—for conduct which is unwavering (시18:36).
【시37:32 JFB】32, 33. The devices of the wicked against the good fail because God acquits them.
【시37:34 JFB】34. On the contrary, the good are not only blessed, but made to see the ruin of their foes.
【시37:34 MHCC】Duty is ours, and we must mind it; but events are God's, we must refer the disposal of them to him. What a striking picture is in ver. #(35, 36), of many a prosperous enemy of God! But God remarkably blights the projects of the prosperous wicked, especially persecutors. None are perfect in themselves, but believers are so in Christ Jesus. If all the saint's days continue dark and cloudy, his dying day may prove comfortable, and his sun set bright; or, if it should set under a cloud, yet his future state will be everlasting peace. The salvation of the righteous will be the Lord's doing. He will help them to do their duties, to bear their burdens; help them to bear their troubles well, and get good by them, and, in due time, will deliver them out of their troubles. Let sinners then depart from evil, and do good; repent of and forsake sin, and trust in the mercy of God through Jesus Christ. Let them take his yoke upon them, and learn of him, that they may dwell for evermore in heaven. Let us mark the closing scenes of different characters, and always depend on God's mercy.
【시37:35 JFB】35, 36. of which a picture is given, under the figure of a flourishing tree (compare Margin), which soon withers.
【시37:36 JFB】36. he was not—(Compare 시37:10).
【시37:37 JFB】37. By "the end" is meant reward (잠23:18; 24:14), or expectation of success, as in 시37:38, which describes the end of the wicked in contrast, and that is cut off (compare 시73:17).
【시37:38 JFB】38. together—at once; entirely (시4:8).
【시37:39 JFB】39, 40. strength—(시27:1; 28:8).
trouble—straits (시9:9; 10:1). In trust and quietness is the salvation of the pious from all foes and all their devices.
