| Contrasted is the lot of the pious who will praise God, and, acting under His direction, will destroy the power of the wicked, and exalt that of the righteous. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
But I will declare for ever - I - the author of the psalm. I will make known at all times the character of God, and will declare the truth respecting his works and ways. The particular mode as referred to here, was praise.
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob - The God whom Jacob worshipped; the God who proved himself to be his Friend, thus showing that he is the Friend of all that trust in him. See the notes at Psa 24:6. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The poet now turns back thankfully and cheerfully from the prophetically presented future to his own actual present. With ואני he contrasts himself as a member of the now still oppressed church with its proud oppressors: he will be a perpetual herald of the ever memorable deed of redemption. לעולם, says he, for, when he gives himself up so entirely to God the Redeemer, for him there is no dying. If he is a member of the ecclesia pressa, then he will also be a member of the ecclesia triumphans; for ει ̓ ὑπομένομεν, καὶ συμβασιλεύσομεν (Ti2 2:12). In the certainty of this συμβασιλεύειν, and in the strength of God, which is even now mighty in the weak one, he measures himself in v. 11 by the standard of what he expresses in Psa 75:8 as God's own work. On the figure compare Deu 33:17; Lam 2:3, and more especially the four horns in the second vision of Zechariah, Zac 2:1. Zac 1:18.. The plural is both קרנות and קרני, because horns that do not consist of horn are meant. Horns are powers for offence and defence. The spiritual horns maintain the sovereignty over the natural. The Psalm closes as subjectively as it began. The prophetic picture is set in a lyric frame. |

| I will sing praises to the God of Jacob - These are the words of the psalmist, who magnifies the Lord for the promise of deliverance from their enemies. |
6 This is the generation [01755] of them that seek [01875] him, that seek [01245] thy face [06440], O Jacob [03290]. Selah [05542].
18 Then lifted I up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and saw [07200], and behold four [0702] horns [07161].
1 I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869] again, and looked [07200], and behold a man [0376] with a measuring [04060] line [02256] in his hand [03027].
3 He hath cut off [01438] in his fierce [02750] anger [0639] all the horn [07161] of Israel [03478]: he hath drawn [07725] back [0268] his right hand [03225] from before [06440] the enemy [0341], and he burned [01197] against Jacob [03290] like a flaming [03852] fire [0784], which devoureth [0398] round about [05439].
17 His glory [01926] is like the firstling [01060] of his bullock [07794], and his horns [07161] are like the horns [07161] of unicorns [07214]: with them he shall push [05055] the people [05971] together [03162] to the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]: and they are the ten thousands [07233] of Ephraim [0669], and they are the thousands [0505] of Manasseh [04519].
8 For in the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] there is a cup [03563], and the wine [03196] is red [02560]; it is full [04392] of mixture [04538]; and he poureth out [05064] of the same [02088]: but the dregs [08105] thereof, all the wicked [07563] of the earth [0776] shall wring them out [04680], and drink [08354] them.
12 If [1487] we suffer [5278], we shall [4821] also [2532] reign with [4821] him: if [1487] we deny [720] him, he also [2548] will deny [720] us [2248]:
