Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on the Psalms, Vol. 2 A casual synchronism between this Psalm and the immediately preceding one, is indicated by the agreement, which ver. 5 and 6 present to the other, the more remarkable, as these two Psalms are the only ones, in which the Angel of the Lord, in a general way occurs. But in both he appears entirely in the same character and connection. Ver. 1. Of David. Contend, O Lord, with my contenders, consume those who consume me. In the first member, the relation of the righteous to his enemies, appears under the image of a contest for justice, in the second, under the image of a war. What is expressed in the first member as a wish, is in Isa. xlix. 25, converted into a promise, "I will contend with him that contend with thee." But the wish here also rises on the ground of the promise. To beg any thing from God, which he had not promised, were a piece of folly. The meaning oi fighting first enters in Niphil. prop, to be eaten, then to be eaten by one another. A destructive warfare against the enemies is not rarely represented as a consuming of these, comp. for example. Numb. xxiv. 8, "He eats up (consumes) the heathen, and their bones will he break." Calvin: "The sum is, that, overwhelmed with calumnies, and oppressed with cruelty, and finding no help in the world, he commends his life, as well as Ills good name, into the hand of God." Ver. 2. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up as mi help. The Lord is represented under the image of a hero, who equips himself for the deliverance of his oppressed friend. This representation has its ground in human weakness. As dangers palpable and manifest surround us, Gods hidden and invisible power is not of itself fitted to keep us from all fear and anxiety. It must in a manner take to itself flesh and blood. It usually borrows its dress from the danger, which at the time is threatened. In opposition to the arts of lying and calumny, God is set forth as patron or administrator, who takes charge of the affairs of his people. If danger is threatened from rude violence, he appears as a warrior, as in Deut. xxxii. 41, 42, who lays hold of weapons for the defence of his people. In this verse the Psalmist calls upon the Lord to take weapons of defence, in the next weapons of offence.
