King James Translators' Notes Michtam: or, A golden Psalm scattered: Heb. broken Scofield Reference Notes Margin Michtam Michtam, a prayer. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary PSALM 60 Ps 60:1-12. Shushan-eduth-Lily of testimony. The lily is an emblem of beauty (see on [601]Ps 45:1, title). As a description of the Psalm, those terms combined may denote a beautiful poem, witnessing-that is, for God's faithfulness as evinced in the victories referred to in the history cited. Aram-naharaim-Syria of the two rivers, or Mesopotamia beyond the river (Euphrates) (2Sa 10:16). Aram-zobah-Syria of Zobah (2Sa 10:6), to whose king the king of the former was tributary. The war with Edom, by Joab and Abishai (2Ch 18:12, 25), occurred about the same time. Probably, while doubts and fears alternately prevailed respecting the issue of these wars, the writer composed this Psalm, in which he depicts, in the language of God's people, their sorrows under former disasters, offers prayer in present straits, and rejoices in confident hope of triumph by God's aid. 1-3. allude to disasters. cast . off-in scorn (Ps 43:2; 44:9). scattered-broken our strength (compare 2Sa 5:20). Oh, turn thyself-or, "restore to us" (prosperity). The figures of physical, denote great civil, commotions (Ps 46:2, 3). Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 60:1-5 David owns God's displeasure to be the cause of all the hardships he had undergone. And when God is turning his hand in our favour, it is good to remember our former troubles. In God's displeasure their troubles began, therefore in his favour their prosperity must begin. Those breaches and divisions which the folly and corruption of man make, nothing but the wisdom and grace of God can repair, by pouring out a spirit of love and peace, by which only a kingdom is saved from ruin. The anger of God against sin, is the only cause of all misery, private or public, that has been, is, or shall be. In all these cases there is no remedy, but by returning to the Lord with repentance, faith, and prayer; beseeching him to return to us. Christ, the Son of David, is given for a banner to those that fear God; in him they are gathered together in one, and take courage. In his name and strength they wage war with the powers of darkness. | |
