Devout Acknowledgments. To the chief musician upon Muth-labben. A psalm of David. 1 I will praise thee, O LORD , with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. 5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. 7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD , hast not forsaken them that seek thee. The title of this psalm gives a very uncertain sound concerning the occasion of penning it. It is upon Muth-labben, which some make to refer to the death of Goliath, others of Nabal, others of Absalom; but I incline to think it signifies only some tone, or some musical instrument, to which this psalm was intended to be sung; and that the enemies David is here triumphing in the defeat of are the Philistines, and the other neighbouring nations that opposed his settlement in the throne, whom he contested with and subdued in the beginning of his reign, 2 Samuel 5:8 . In these verses, I. David excites and engages himself to praise God for his mercies and the great things he had of late done for him and his government, Psalms 9:1 ; Psalms 9:2 . Note, 1. God expects suitable returns of praise from those for whom he has done marvellous works. 2. If we would praise God acceptably, we must praise him in sincerity, with our hearts, and not only with our lips, and be lively and fervent in the duty, with our whole heart. 3. When we give thanks for some one particular mercy we should take occasion thence to remember former mercies and so to show forth all his marvellous works. 4. Holy joy is the life of thankful praise, as thankful praise is the language of holy joy: I will be glad and rejoice in thee. 5. Whatever occurs to make us glad, our joy must pass through it, and terminate in God only: I will be glad and rejoice in thee, not in the gift so much as in the giver. 6. Joy and praise are properly expressed by singing psalms. 7. When God has shown himself to be above the proud enemies of the church we must take occasion thence to give glory to him as the Most High. 8. The triumphs of the Redeemer ought to be the triumphs of the redeemed; see Revelation 12:10 ; Revelation 19:5 ; Revelation 15:3 ; Revelation 15:4 . II. He acknowledges the almighty power of God as that which the strongest and stoutest of his enemies were no way able to contest with or stand before, Psalms 9:3 ; Psalms 9:3 . But, 1. They are forced to turn back. Their policy and their courage fail them, so that they cannot, they dare not, push forward in their enterprises, but retire with precipitation. 2. When once they turn back, they fall and perish; even their retreat will be their ruin, and they will save themselves no more by flying than by fighting. If Haman begin to fall before Mordecai, he is a lost man, and shall prevail no more; see Esther 6:13 . 3. The presence of the Lord, and the glory of his power, are sufficient for the destruction of his and his people's enemies. That is easily done which a man does with his very presence; with that God confounds his enemies, such a presence has he. This was fulfilled when our Lord Jesus, with one word, I am he, made his enemies to fall back at his presence ( John 18:6 ) and he could, at the same time, have made them perish. 4. When the enemies of God's church are put to confusion we must ascribe their discomfiture to the power, not of instruments, but of his presence, and give him all the glory. III. He gives to God the glory of his righteousness, in his appearing on his behalf ( Psalms 9:4 ; Psalms 9:4 ): " Thou hast maintained my right and my cause, that is, my righteous cause; when that came on, thou satest in the throne, judging right. " Observe, 1. God sits in the throne of judgment. To him it belongs to decide controversies, to determine appeals, to avenge the injured, and to punish the injurious; for he has said, Vengeance is mine. 2. We are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth and that with him there is no unrighteousness. Far be it from God that he should pervert justice. If there seem to us to be some irregularity in the present decisions of Providence, yet these, instead of shaking our belief of God's justice, may serve to strengthen our belief of the judgment to come, which will set all to-rights. 3. Whoever disown and desert a just and injured cause, we may be sure that the righteous God will maintain it and plead it with jealousy, and will never suffer it to be run down. IV. He records, with joy, the triumphs of the God of heaven over all the powers of hell and attends those triumphs with his praises, Psalms 9:5 ; Psalms 9:5 . By three steps the power and justice of God had proceeded against the heathen, and wicked people, who were enemies to the king God had lately set up upon his holy hill of Zion. 1. He had checked them: " Thou hast rebuked the heathen, hast given them real proofs of thy displeasure against them." This he did before he destroyed them, that they might take warning by the rebukes of Providence and so prevent their own destruction. 2. He had cut them off: Thou hast destroyed the wicked. The wicked are marked for destruction, and some are made monuments of God's vindictive justice and destructive power in this world. 3. He had buried them in oblivion and perpetual infamy, had put out their name for ever, that they should never be remembered with any respect. V. He exults over the enemy whom God thus appears against ( Psalms 9:6 ; Psalms 9:6 ): Thou hast destroyed cities. Either, "Thou, O enemy! hast destroyed our cities, at least in intention and imagination," or "Thou, O God! hast destroyed their cities by the desolation brought upon their country." It may be taken either way; for the psalmist will have the enemy to know, 1. That their destruction is just and that God was but reckoning with them for all the mischief which they had done and designed against his people. The malicious and vexatious neighbours of Israel, as the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, and Syrians, had made incursions upon them (when there was no king in Israel to fight their battles), had destroyed their cities and done what they could to make their memorial perish with them. But now the wheel was turned upon them; their destructions of Israel had come to a perpetual end; they shall now cease to spoil and must themselves be spoiled, Isaiah 33:1 ; Isaiah 33:2 . 2. That it is total and final, such a destruction as should make a perpetual end of them, so that the very memorial of their cities should perish with them, So devouring a thing is time, and much more such desolations do the righteous judgments of God make upon sinners, that great and populous cities have been reduced to such ruins that their very memorial has perished, and those who have sought them could not find where they stood; but we look for a city that has stronger foundations. VI. He comforts himself and others in God, and pleases himself with the thoughts of him. 1. With the thoughts of his eternity. On this earth we see nothing durable, even strong cities are buried in rubbish and forgotten; but the Lord shall endure for ever, Psalms 9:7 ; Psalms 9:7 . There is no change of his being; his felicity, power, and perfection, are out of the reach of all the combined forces of hell and earth; they may put an end to our liberties, our privileges, our lives, but our God is still the same, and sits even upon the floods, unshaken, undisturbed, Psalms 29:10 ; Psalms 93:2 . 2. With the thoughts of his sovereignty both in government and judgment: He has prepared his throne, has fixed it by his infinite wisdom, has fixed it by his immutable counsel. It is the great support and comfort of good people, when the power of the church's enemies is threatening and the posture of its affairs melancholy and perplexed, that God now rules the world and will shortly judge the world. 3. With the thoughts of his justice and righteousness in all the administrations of his government. He does all every day, he will do all at the last day, according to the eternal unalterable rules of equity ( Psalms 9:8 ; Psalms 9:8 ): He shall judge the world, all persons and all controversies, shall minister judgment to the people (shall determine their lot both in this and in the future state) in righteousness and in uprightness, so that there shall not be the least colour of exception against it. 4. With the thoughts of that peculiar favour which God bears to his own people and the special protection which he takes them under. The Lord, who endures for ever, is their everlasting strength and protection; he that judges the world will be sure to judge for them, when at any time they are injured or distressed ( Psalms 9:9 ; Psalms 9:9 ): He will be a refuge for the oppressed, a high place, a strong place, for the oppressed, in times of trouble. It is the lot of God's people to be oppressed in this world and to have troublous times appointed to them. Perhaps God may not immediately appear for them as their deliverer and avenger; but, in the midst of their distresses, they may by faith flee to him as their refuge and may depend upon his power and promise for their safety, so that no real hurt shall be done them. 5. With the thoughts of that sweet satisfaction and repose of mind which those have that make God their refuge ( Psalms 9:10 ; Psalms 9:10 ): " Those that know thy name will put their trust in thee, as I have done" (for the grace of God is the same in all the saints), "and then they will find, as I have found, that thou dost not forsake those that seek thee;" for the favour of God is the same towards all the saints. Note, (1.) The better God is known the more he is trusted. Those who know him to be a God of infinite wisdom will trust him further than they can see him ( Job 35:14 ); those who know him to be a God of almighty power will trust him when creature-confidences fail and they have nothing else to trust to ( 2 Chronicles 20:12 ); and those who know him to be a God of infinite grace and goodness will trust him though he slay them, Job 13:15 . Those who know him to be a God of inviolable truth and faithfulness will rejoice in his word of promise, and rest upon that, though the performance be deferred and intermediate providences seem to contradict it. Those who know him to be the Father of spirits, and an everlasting Father, will trust him with their souls as their main care and trust in him at all times, even to the end. (2.) The more God is trusted the more he is sought unto. If we trust God we shall seek him by faithful and fervent prayer, and by a constant care to approve ourselves to him in the whole course of our conversations. (3.) God never did, nor ever will, disown or desert any that duly seek to him and trust in him. Though he afflict them, he will not leave them comfortless; though he seem to forsake them for a while, yet he will gather them with everlasting mercies. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-11-20" class="com-number"

**[본문: 시편 9:1-10]**
이 시편의 표제는 기록 배경에 대해 명확한 단서를 주지 않는다. "무드 랍벤에 맞춘 노래"라는 표현을 골리앗의 죽음, 나발의 죽음, 혹은 압살롬의 죽음과 연관 짓는 해석들이 있지만, 이는 단지 특정 곡조나 악기를 가리키는 것으로 보는 편이 타당하다. 다윗이 여기서 이기게 된 원수들은 블레셋 사람과 그 주변 민족들로서, 통치 초기에 맞서 싸워 굴복시킨 자들로 보인다(삼하 5:8 참조).
이 단락에서 다윗은 다음 여섯 가지를 전개한다.
**I. 다윗은 하나님께서 자신에게 행하신 일들로 인해 찬양하도록 자신을 일으켜 세운다(1-2절).** 주목할 것들은 다음과 같다. (1) 하나님께서 놀라운 일을 행하신 자들에게는 그에 합당한 찬양의 응답이 요구된다. (2) 참된 찬양은 마음에서 우러나와 입술에만 머물지 않으며, 온 마음으로 열렬히 드려야 한다. (3) 한 가지 특별한 은혜에 감사할 때, 이를 계기로 과거의 모든 은혜를 기억하여 그분의 기이한 모든 일을 선포해야 한다. (4) 거룩한 기쁨은 감사 찬양의 생명이며, 감사 찬양은 거룩한 기쁨의 언어이다. "내가 주 안에서 기뻐하며 즐거워하겠습니다." (5) 무엇이 우리를 기쁘게 하든 그 기쁨은 반드시 하나님 안에서 완성되어야 한다. "주 안에서 기뻐하며 즐거워하겠습니다"—선물보다 선물을 주신 분 안에서. (6) 기쁨과 찬양은 시편 찬송으로 적절히 표현된다. (7) 하나님께서 교회의 교만한 원수들 위에 자신을 높이실 때, 우리는 그분을 지극히 높으신 분으로 영광을 돌려야 한다. (8) 구속주의 승리는 구속받은 자의 승리가 되어야 한다(계 12:10; 19:5; 15:3-4 참조).
**II. 다윗은 가장 강하고 완고한 원수들도 대적할 수 없는 하나님의 전능한 능력을 인정한다(3절).** 그들은 (1) 억지로 물러서야 한다. 지략과 용기가 다하여 전진하지 못하고 허둥지둥 후퇴한다. (2) 물러서는 순간 쓰러져 멸망한다. 도망쳐도 싸울 때와 마찬가지로 살아남지 못한다. 하만이 모르드개 앞에서 무너지기 시작하면 그는 끝난 것이다(에 6:13 참조). (3) 주의 임재와 그분의 능력의 영광이 그분의 원수들을 멸하기에 충분하다. 주께서는 단지 임재하심으로 원수들을 혼란에 빠뜨리신다. 이는 예수님께서 "내가 그이니라" 한 마디로 원수들이 뒤로 물러나 쓰러지게 하실 때 이루어졌다(요 18:6). (4) 하나님의 교회의 원수들이 혼란에 빠질 때, 우리는 도구가 아닌 하나님의 임재에 영광을 돌려야 한다.
**III. 다윗은 자신을 위해 나타나신 하나님의 의에 영광을 돌린다(4절).** "주께서 나의 권리와 의로운 소송을 지지해 주셨습니다. 주께서는 보좌에 앉으시어 올바르게 심판하셨습니다." 주목할 것들: (1) 하나님은 심판의 보좌에 앉으신다. 그분께 속한 일이다—논쟁을 해결하시고, 호소를 받아들이시며, 억울한 자를 변호하시고, 불의한 자를 벌하시는 것. "원수 갚는 것은 내 것이라"(신 32:35). (2) 하나님의 심판은 진리에 따른 것이며 그분께는 불의가 없다. 섭리의 현재 결정이 우리 눈에 불규칙해 보일지라도, 이는 우리의 믿음을 흔드는 것이 아니라 오히려 장차 임할 심판에 대한 믿음을 강화해야 한다. (3) 누가 정당하고 억울한 소송을 외면하고 저버릴지라도, 의로우신 하나님은 반드시 그것을 변호하시고 결코 짓밟히도록 내버려 두지 않으신다.
**IV. 다윗은 지옥의 모든 세력들보다 높으신 하늘의 하나님의 승리를 기쁨으로 기록하며 찬양을 드린다(5-6절).** 세 단계로 하나님의 능력과 공의가 이방 민족들과 악인들을 향해 나타났다. (1) 그들을 책망하셨다. "주께서 이방을 꾸짖으셨습니다." 이는 멸망 전에 경고하신 것이다. (2) 그들을 제거하셨다. "주께서 악인들을 멸하셨습니다." (3) 그들을 영원한 망각과 수치에 묻으셨다. "그들의 이름을 영원히 지우셨습니다."
다윗은 또한 원수를 향해 이렇게 외친다(6절): "주께서 성읍들을 멸하셨습니다." 이는 이방 민족들이 이스라엘의 성읍들을 의도적으로 멸하려 했다는 뜻으로 볼 수도 있고, 하나님께서 그들의 나라를 황폐하게 하셨다는 뜻으로도 볼 수 있다. 어느 쪽으로 보든 다윗은 원수에게 이렇게 선언한다. (1) 그들의 멸망은 당연한 것이며, 하나님은 그들이 당신의 백성에게 행한 모든 악을 그들에게 갚고 계신다. 블레셋, 모압, 암몬, 에돔, 시리아 같은 이스라엘의 악한 이웃들이 성읍들을 약탈했으나 이제 수레바퀴가 돌아간 것이다(사 33:1-2 참조). (2) 그 멸망은 완전하고 최종적이다. 성읍들의 기억조차 사라질 만큼 철저하다.
**V. 다윗은 하나님 안에서 자신과 다른 이들을 위로하며, 그분에 대한 생각을 기쁨으로 삼는다.** 그는 다섯 가지로 위로받는다.
(1) 하나님의 영원성에 대한 생각(7절). 이 땅에서 영구한 것은 없어 강대한 성읍들도 폐허가 되어 잊히지만, "여호와께서는 영원히 앉아 계십니다"(시 29:10; 93:2 참조). 그분의 존재에 변함이 없다.
(2) 다스림과 심판에 있어서의 그분의 주권에 대한 생각(7절 후반). 그분은 심판을 위해 보좌를 예비하셨다. 교회의 원수들의 세력이 위협적이고 상황이 암울할 때, 하나님께서 지금 세상을 다스리시고 곧 세상을 심판하실 것이라는 사실이 선한 사람들에게 큰 지지와 위안이 된다.
(3) 모든 통치 행위 안에서의 그분의 공의와 의에 대한 생각(8절). "그분이 세상을 의로 심판하시고, 민족들을 정직으로 다스리실 것입니다." 매일 이 일을 행하시며, 마지막 날에도 변함없는 공평의 규칙에 따라 행하시므로 조금도 이의를 제기할 여지가 없다.
(4) 하나님께서 자기 백성에게 베푸시는 특별한 사랑과 보호에 대한 생각(9절). 영원히 계신 여호와는 그들의 영원한 힘과 보호이시다. 세상을 심판하시는 그분이 억눌린 백성 편에서 반드시 심판하실 것이다. "여호와께서는 억눌린 자들의 피난처, 환난 때의 높은 요새이십니다." 하나님의 백성은 이 세상에서 억눌리고 환난을 당하는 것이 그들의 운명이다. 하나님께서 즉시 구원자로 나타나시지 않을 수도 있지만, 고난 가운데 믿음으로 그분께 피하면 그분의 능력과 약속을 의지하여 안전을 보장받을 수 있다.
(5) 하나님을 피난처로 삼는 자들이 누리는 달콤한 만족과 마음의 안식에 대한 생각(10절). "주의 이름을 아는 자들이 주를 신뢰할 것입니다." (a) 하나님을 더 잘 알수록 더욱 신뢰하게 된다. 그분을 무한한 지혜의 하나님으로 아는 자들은 볼 수 없을 때도 신뢰할 것이며(욥 35:14), 전능하신 하나님으로 아는 자들은 의지할 것이 없을 때도 신뢰할 것이고(대하 20:12), 무한한 은혜와 선하심의 하나님으로 아는 자들은 죽임을 당할지라도 신뢰할 것이다(욥 13:15). 그분을 불변하는 진실과 신실의 하나님으로 아는 자들은 성취가 지연되고 섭리가 어긋나 보일 때도 약속의 말씀을 기뻐할 것이다. (b) 하나님을 더 많이 신뢰할수록 더욱 그분을 구하게 된다. 신뢰하면 신실한 기도로, 삶 전체에서 그분 앞에 올바르게 사는 것으로 그분을 구한다. (c) 하나님은 그분께 마땅히 구하고 신뢰하는 자들을 버리신 적도, 버리실 적도 없다.

P S A L M S PSALM IX. In this psalm, I. David praises God for pleading his cause, and giving him victory over his enemies and the enemies of his country ( Psalms 9:1-6 ), and calls upon others to join with him in his songs of praise, Psalms 9:11 ; Psalms 9:12 . II. He prays to God that he might have still further occasion to praise him, for his own deliverances and the confusion of his enemies, Psalms 9:13 ; Psalms 9:14 ; Psalms 9:19 ; Psalms 9:20 . III. He triumphs in the assurance he had of God's judging the world ( Psalms 9:7 ; Psalms 9:8 ), protecting his oppressed people ( Psalms 9:9 ; Psalms 9:10 ; Psalms 9:18 ), and bringing his and their implacable enemies to ruin, Psalms 9:15-17 . This is very applicable to the kingdom of the Messiah, the enemies of which have been in part destroyed already, and shall be yet more and more till they all be made his footstool, which we are to assure ourselves of, that God may have the glory and we may take the comfort. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-10" class="com-number"

시편 9편에서 다윗은 다음 세 가지를 다룬다. 첫째, 하나님께서 자신의 소송을 변호하시고 원수들과 나라의 적들을 이기게 하신 것을 찬양하며(1-6절), 다른 이들도 함께 찬송에 참여하도록 촉구한다(11-12절). 둘째, 자신의 구원과 원수들의 혼란을 위해 더 많은 기회를 주시기를 기도한다(13-14절, 19-20절). 셋째, 하나님께서 세상을 심판하신다는 확신 안에서 승리를 선포한다(7-8절). 또한 억눌린 백성을 보호하시고(9-10절, 18절), 불구대천의 원수들을 파멸로 이끄심을 확신하며 기뻐한다(15-17절). 이 시편은 메시아의 왕국에도 온전히 적용된다. 그분의 원수들은 이미 부분적으로 멸망하였고, 모든 원수가 그분의 발판이 될 때까지 더욱 철저히 멸망할 것이다. 이를 굳게 믿어 하나님께 영광을 돌리고 우리는 위로를 얻어야 한다.

A Call to Praise God; Certain Ruin of the Wicked. 11 Sing praises to the LORD , which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD ; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 19 Arise, O LORD ; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20 Put them in fear, O LORD : that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. In these verses, I. David, having praised God himself, calls upon and invites others to praise him likewise, Psalms 9:11 ; Psalms 9:11 . Those who believe God is greatly to be praised not only desire to do that work better themselves, but desire that others also may join with them in it and would gladly be instrumental to bring them to it: Sing praises to the Lord who dwelleth in Zion. As the special residence of his glory is in heaven, so the special residence of his grace is in his church, of which Zion was a type. There he meets his people with his promises and graces, and there he expects they should meet him with their praises and services. In all our praises we should have an eye to God as dwelling in Zion, in a special manner present in the assemblies of his people, as their protector and patron. He resolved himself to show forth God's marvellous works ( Psalms 9:1 ; Psalms 9:1 ), and here he calls upon others to declare among the people his doings. He commands his own subjects to do it, for the honour of God, of their country, and of their holy religion; he courts his neighbours to do it, to sing praises, not, as hitherto, to their false gods, but to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion, to the God of Israel, and to own among the heathen that the Lord has done great things for his people Israel, Psalms 126:3 ; Psalms 126:4 . Let them particularly take notice of the justice of God in avenging the blood of his people Israel on the Philistines and their other wicked neighbours, who had, in making war upon them, used them barbarously and given them no quarter, Psalms 9:12 ; Psalms 9:12 . When God comes to make inquisition for blood by his judgments on earth, before he comes to do it by the judgment of the great day, he remembers them, remembers every drop of the innocent blood which they have shed, and will return it sevenfold upon the head of the blood-thirsty; he will give them blood to drink, for they are worthy. This assurance he might well build upon that word ( Deuteronomy 32:43 ), He will avenge the blood of his servants. Note, There is a day coming when God will make inquisition for blood, when he will discover what has been shed secretly, and avenge what has been shed unjustly; see Isaiah 26:21 ; Jeremiah 51:35 . In that day it will appear how precious the blood of God's people is to him ( Psalms 72:14 ), when it must all be accounted for. It will then appear that he has not forgotten the cry of the humble, neither the cry of their blood nor the cry of their prayers, but that both are sealed up among his treasures. II. David, having praised God for former mercies and deliverances, earnestly prays that God would still appear for him; for he sees not all things put under him. 1. He prays, (1.) That God would be compassionate to him ( Psalms 9:13 ; Psalms 9:13 ): " Have mercy upon me, who, having misery only, and no merit, to speak for me, must depend upon mercy for relief." (2.) That he would be concerned for him. He is not particular in his request, lest he should seem to prescribe to God; but submits himself to the wisdom and will of God in this modest request, " Lord, consider my trouble, and do for me as thou thinkest fit." 2. He pleads, (1.) The malice of his enemies, the trouble which he suffered from those that hated him, and hatred is a cruel passion. (2.) The experience he had had of divine succours and the expectation he now had of the continuance of them, as the necessity of his case required: " O thou that liftest me up, that canst do it, that hast done it, that wilt do it, whose prerogative it is to lift up thy people from the gates of death! " We are never brought so low, so near to death, but God can raise us up. If he has saved us from spiritual and eternal death, we may thence take encouragement to hope that in all our distresses he will be a very present help to us. (3.) His sincere purpose to praise God when his victories should be completed ( Psalms 9:14 ; Psalms 9:14 ): "Lord, save me, not that I may have the comfort and credit of the deliverance, but that thou mayest have the glory, that I may show forth all thy praise, and that publicly, in the gates of the daughter of Zion; " there God was said to dwell ( Psalms 9:11 ; Psalms 9:11 ) and there David would attend him, with joy in God's salvation, typical of the great salvation which was to be wrought out by the Son of David. III. David by faith foresees and foretels the certain ruin of all wicked people, both in this world and in that to come. 1. In this world, Psalms 9:15 ; Psalms 9:16 . God executes judgment upon them when the measure of their iniquities is full, and does it, (1.) So as to put shame upon them and make their fall inglorious; for they sink into the pit which they themselves digged ( Psalms 7:15 ), they are taken in the net which they themselves laid for the ensnaring of God's people, and they are snared in the work of their own hands. In all the struggles David had with the Philistines they were the aggressors, 2 Samuel 5:17 ; 2 Samuel 5:22 . And other nations were subdued by those ward in which they embroiled themselves. The overruling providence of God frequently so orders it that persecutors and oppressors are brought to ruin by those very projects which they intended to be destructive to the people of God. Drunkards kill themselves; prodigals beggar themselves; the contentious bring mischief upon themselves. Thus men's sins may be read in their punishment, and it becomes visible to all that the destruction of sinners is not only meritoriously, but efficiently, of themselves, which will fill them with the utmost confusion. (2.) So as to get honour to himself: The Lord is known, that is, he makes himself known, by these judgments which he executes. It is known that there is a God who judges in the earth, that he is a righteous God, and one that hates sin and will punish it. In these judgments the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. The psalmist therefore adds here a note extraordinary, commanding special regard, Higgaion; it is a thing to be carefully observed and meditated upon. What we see of present judgments, and what we believe of the judgment to come, ought to be the subject of our frequent and serious meditations. 2. In the other world ( Psalms 9:17 ; Psalms 9:17 ): The wicked shall be turned into hell, as captives into the prison-house, even all the nations that forget God. Note, (1.) Forgetfulness of God is the cause of all the wickedness of the wicked. (2.) There are nations of those that forget God, multitudes that live without God in the world, many great and many mighty nations, that never regard him nor desire the knowledge of his ways. (3.) Hell will, at last, be the portion of such, a state of everlasting misery and torment-- Sheol, a pit of destruction, in which they and all their comforts will be for ever lost and buried. Though there be nations of them, yet they shall be turned into hell, like sheep into the slaughter-house ( Psalms 49:14 ), and their being so numerous will not be any security or ease to them, nor any loss to God or the least impeachment of his goodness. IV. David encourages the people of God to wait for his salvation, though it should be long deferred, Psalms 9:18 ; Psalms 9:18 . The needy may think themselves, and others may think them, forgotten for a while, and their expectation of help from God may seem to have perished and to have been for ever frustrated. But he that believes does not make haste; the vision is for an appointed time, and at the end it shall speak. We may build upon it as undoubtedly true that God's people, God's elect, shall not always be forgotten, nor shall they be disappointed of their hopes from the promise. God will not only remember them, at last, but will make it to appear that he never did forget them; it is impossible he should, though a woman may forget her sucking child. V. He concludes with prayer that God would humble the pride, break the power, and blast the projects, of all the wicked enemies of his church: " Arise, O Lord! ( Psalms 9:19 ; Psalms 9:19 ), stir up thy self, exert thy power, take thy seat, and deal with all these proud and daring enemies of thy name, and cause, and people." 1. "Lord, restrain them, and set bounds to their malice: Let not man prevail; consult thy own honour, and let not weak and mortal men prevail against the kingdom and interest of the almighty and immortal God. Shall mortal man be too hard for God, too strong for his Maker? " 2. "Lord, reckon with them: Let the heathen be judges in thy sight, that is, let them be plainly called to an account for all the dishonour done to thee and the mischief done to thy people." Impenitent sinners will be punished in God's sight; and, when their day of grace is over, the bowels even of infinite mercy will not relent towards them, Revelation 14:10 . 3. "Lord, frighten them: Put them in fear, O Lord! ( Psalms 9:20 ; Psalms 9:20 ), strike a terror upon them, make them afraid with thy judgments." God knows how to make the strongest and stoutest of men to tremble and to flee when none pursues, and thereby he makes them know and own that they are but men; they are but weak men, unable to stand before the holy God--sinful men, the guilt of whose consciences make them subject to alarms. Note, It is a very desirable thing, much for the glory of God and the peace and welfare of the universe, that men should know and consider themselves to be but men, depending creatures, mutable, mortal, and accountable. In singing this psalm we must give to God the glory of his justice in pleading his people's cause against his and their enemies, and encourage ourselves to wait for the year of the redeemed and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion, even the final destruction of all anti-christian powers and factions, to which many of the ancients apply this psalm. return to ' Top of Page ' Psalms Psa 8 Psalms Psa Psalms Psa 10 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

source-manifest/mhm— Matthew Henry Complete Commentary (PD)- evidence_grade: T_theological
**[본문: 시편 9:11-20]**
**I. 다윗은 스스로 하나님을 찬양한 후, 다른 이들도 함께 찬양하도록 부른다(11절).** "시온에 거하시는 여호와를 찬송하라!" 그분의 영광의 특별한 거처는 하늘이지만, 그분의 은혜의 특별한 거처는 교회이며, 시온이 그 예표이다. 거기서 그분은 약속과 은혜로 백성을 만나시고, 백성은 찬양과 섬김으로 그분을 만나야 한다. 모든 찬양에서 우리는 하나님을 시온에 거하시는 분, 즉 그분의 백성의 모임 가운데 특별히 임재하시어 보호자요 후원자가 되시는 분으로 바라보아야 한다.
다윗은 자신이 하나님의 기이한 일들을 선포하겠다 했고(1절), 이제 다른 이들에게도 "백성들 가운데 그분의 행하심을 선포하라"고 촉구한다. 자기 백성에게는 하나님의 영광과 나라와 거룩한 종교의 명예를 위해 명령하고, 이웃 나라들에게는 "이전에 거짓 신들에게 드리던 찬송을 시온에 거하시는 여호와, 이스라엘의 하나님께 드리라"고 권면한다. 그리고 여호와께서 이스라엘을 위해 큰 일을 행하셨음을 이방 나라들 가운데 고백하라고 촉구한다(시 126:3-4 참조).
특별히 블레셋과 다른 악한 이웃들의 피를 갚으시는 하나님의 공의에 주목하라(12절). 하나님께서 피를 심문하실 때, 즉 그분의 지상 심판으로 피를 갚으실 때, 그들을 기억하신다. 그들이 흘린 모든 무고한 피를 기억하시어 살인자들에게 칠 배로 갚으실 것이다. 이는 "그분이 그분의 종들의 피를 갚으실 것이라"는 말씀(신 32:43)에 근거한다. 하나님께서 피를 심문하실 날이 오면, 은밀히 흘려진 것을 드러내시고 억울하게 흘려진 것을 갚으실 것이다(사 26:21; 렘 51:35 참조). 그날에 그분의 백성의 피가 그분께 얼마나 귀한지 드러날 것이다(시 72:14 참조). 겸손한 자들의 부르짖음을 잊지 않으셨음이 밝혀질 것이다.
**II. 다윗은 과거의 은혜에 감사한 후, 하나님께서 여전히 자신을 위해 나타나 주시기를 열렬히 기도한다(13-14절).** 모든 것이 발아래 복종된 것은 아직 아니기 때문이다.
(1) 기도의 내용: 자비를 베풀어 달라(13절). "나는 공로가 없고 오직 비참함만 있으니, 자비로 구원해 주소서." 구체적으로 지정하지 않고, 처방을 강요하는 것처럼 보이지 않도록 하나님의 지혜와 뜻에 겸손히 맡기며 아뢴다. "내 고통을 살펴보시고, 주께서 좋으신 대로 행하소서."
(2) 탄원의 근거들: 원수들의 악의(그를 미워하는 자들에게서 받는 고통), 과거의 경험과 미래에 대한 소망("사망의 문에서 나를 일으키신 주시여!"). 우리는 아무리 낮아지고 죽음에 가까워져도 하나님께서 우리를 일으키실 수 있다. 그분이 영적·영원한 죽음에서 구원하셨다면, 모든 환난 가운데 가장 현존하는 도움이 되어 주실 것을 소망할 수 있다.
(3) 구원받은 후 하나님을 찬양하겠다는 진심 어린 결심(14절). "주여, 내가 위로와 명예를 얻으려는 것이 아니라 주께서 영광을 받으시게 하려는 것입니다. 시온 딸의 문들에서, 즉 공개적으로 주의 모든 찬양을 선포하겠습니다." 그곳에서 다윗은 하나님을 기쁨으로 섬길 것이며, 이는 다윗의 자손이 이루실 위대한 구원을 예표한다.
**III. 다윗은 믿음으로 모든 악인의 확실한 파멸을 예견하고 예언한다(15-17절).** 이 세상에서(15-16절), 그리고 내세에서(17절).
(1) 이 세상에서의 파멸: 불법이 가득 찰 때 하나님께서 그들에게 심판을 집행하신다. 첫째, 그들에게 수치를 안기며 그들의 몰락을 치욕스럽게 하신다. 이방 민족들은 자신들이 판 구덩이에 빠지고(시 7:15), 자신들이 하나님의 백성을 잡으려고 쳐 놓은 그물에 자기 발이 걸린다. 하나님의 통치하는 섭리는 박해자들과 압제자들이 바로 하나님의 백성을 파멸시키려 한 그 계획들로 인해 몰락하도록 자주 역사하신다. 술꾼들은 스스로를 죽이고, 방탕한 자들은 스스로를 거지로 만들고, 싸움을 좋아하는 자들은 스스로 화를 자초한다. 이렇게 죄인들의 형벌에서 그들의 죄를 읽을 수 있다.
둘째, 그것으로 하나님께서 스스로 영광을 얻으신다. "여호와께서 심판을 집행하심으로 알려지셨습니다." 땅에서 심판하시는 하나님이 계심을 알 수 있고, 그분이 의로우신 하나님이시며 죄를 미워하고 벌하신다는 것을 알 수 있다. 시편 기자는 "히가욘, 셀라"라는 특별한 표시를 덧붙인다. 우리가 보는 현재의 심판들과 장차 임할 심판에 대한 믿음은 자주 깊이 묵상해야 할 주제이다.
(2) 내세에서의 파멸(17절): "악인들이 스올로 돌아가리니, 하나님을 잊어버린 모든 민족들이 그러하리로다." 주목할 것들: (a) 하나님을 잊는 것이 악인들의 모든 악의 원인이다. (b) 하나님을 잊는 자들의 민족들이 있다. 세상에 하나님 없이 사는 수많은 민족들이 있다. (c) 결국 그들의 분깃은 지옥, 즉 그들과 그들의 모든 즐거움이 영원히 사라지는 영원한 비참과 고통의 상태이다. 스올(sheol), 곧 파멸의 구덩이이다. 비록 그것이 수많은 민족일지라도 양 떼처럼 스올로 들어갈 것이며(시 49:14 참조), 그 수가 많다고 해서 그들에게 안전이 되거나 하나님께 손실이 되거나 그분의 선하심을 훼손하지 않는다.
**IV. 다윗은 하나님의 구원이 오래 지연될지라도 하나님의 백성이 그것을 기다리도록 격려한다(18절).** 가난한 자는 잊혀진 것으로, 또 다른 이들도 그렇게 생각할 수 있다. 그리고 하나님께 구하는 소망이 영원히 좌절된 것처럼 보일 수 있다. 그러나 믿는 자는 서두르지 않는다. 묵시는 정한 때가 있으며 마침내 이루어질 것이다. 하나님의 백성, 하나님의 선택받은 자들은 영원히 잊혀지지 않으며, 약속에서 오는 소망에서 실망하지 않을 것이다. 하나님은 마침내 그들을 기억하실 뿐 아니라, 그분이 결코 잊지 않으셨음을 드러내실 것이다. 그것은 불가능한 일이다. 어미가 젖 먹는 아이를 잊을지라도 하나님은 잊지 않으신다.
**V. 다윗은 교회의 모든 악한 원수들의 교만을 꺾고, 권세를 부수며, 계략을 무산시켜 달라는 기도로 시편을 마친다(19-20절).** "일어나소서, 여호와여!"—스스로 분발하시고, 능력을 발휘하시며, 보좌에 앉으시어 이 교만하고 담대한 원수들을 다루소서.
(1) "그들을 억제하시고 그들의 악의에 한계를 두소서: 사람이 이기지 못하게 하소서. 주의 영예를 돌아보시어, 연약하고 죽을 사람이 전능하시고 불멸하신 하나님의 왕국과 이해관계를 이기지 못하게 하소서. 필멸의 사람이 하나님을 이기고, 자기를 만드신 분보다 강할 수 있습니까?"
(2) "그들을 심판하소서: 이방 민족들이 주 앞에서 심판받게 하소서. 즉, 주께 드린 불명예와 주의 백성에게 행한 해악에 대해 분명히 책임지게 하소서." 완악한 죄인들은 하나님 앞에서 벌을 받을 것이며, 은혜의 날이 지나면 무한한 긍휼의 창자도 그들을 위해 움직이지 않을 것이다(계 14:10 참조).
(3) "그들을 두렵게 하소서: 그들에게 두려움을 주소서, 여호와여! 주의 심판으로 그들에게 공포를 주소서." 하나님께서는 아무도 쫓지 않아도 가장 강하고 완고한 사람들도 떨며 도망치게 하실 수 있다. 이로써 그들로 하여금 자신들이 단지 사람에 불과함을 알고 시인하게 하신다. 그들은 연약한 사람들이며, 거룩하신 하나님 앞에 설 수 없다. 죄책이 있는 사람들, 그들의 양심의 죄책감이 그들을 두려움에 굴복하게 한다.
주목할 것: 사람들이 자신들이 단지 사람에 불과함, 즉 피조물이며 가변적이고 죽을 수밖에 없으며 책임 있는 존재임을 알고 생각하는 것은 하나님의 영광과 우주의 평화와 복지를 위해 매우 바람직한 일이다.
이 시편을 노래할 때, 우리는 그분의 원수들과 백성의 원수에 맞서 소송을 변호하시는 하나님의 공의에 영광을 돌리고, 구속받은 자들의 해와 시온의 논쟁에 대한 보응의 해, 즉 모든 반기독교적 세력과 파당의 최종 멸망을 기다려야 한다. 고대의 많은 이들이 이 시편을 그것에 적용하였다.
