Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Psalms, Vol. 3: Translated and Explained After propounding as his theme the mercy and justice of the Lord, v. 1, the Psalmist announces his determination to be blameless in his own walk, vs. 2 - 4, and so to exercise his power over others as to favour the godly and drive out the wicked, vs. 5 - 8. 1. By David. A Psalm. Mercy and judgment will I sing; to thee, Jehovah, will I play (or make music.) As such a declaration of a present purpose in the Psalms is always followed by its execution, the older interpreters suppose mercy and judgment to be those which David meant to practise, as he states more fully in the remainder of the psalm. But besides that he says nothing in what follows of his mercy, there is no usage of the Psalms more settled than that mercy and justice are combined to denote divine not human attributes, and that to sing and make music to Jehovah never means to praise something else in an address to him, but always to sing praises to himself. See above, Ps. ix. 12 (11.) xiii. 6 (5.) xviii. 50 (49.) xxx. 5 (4.) 13 (12.) xxxiii. 2. lxviii. 5 (4.) lxxi. 22, 23, in all which cases the form of expression seems to be derived from Judg. v. 3.
