Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| Those who fear Him (Psa 145:19) are those who are here said to love Him. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The Lord preserveth all them that love him - He keeps them; watches over them; defends them; makes them the object of his care. See Psa 31:20, note, Psa 31:23, note; Psa 97:10, note.
But all the wicked will he destroy - All that are found ultimately to be wicked; all that on the final trial deserve to be classed with the wicked. See Psa 9:17, note; Psa 11:6, note; Mat 25:46, note. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The Lord preserveth - He is the keeper of all them that love him.
But all the wicked will he destroy - They call not upon him; they fight against him, and he will confound and destroy them. There is something curious in the שומר shomer, the keeper or guardian of the pious; he is שמיד shamid, the destroyer of the wicked. The first word implies he is continually keeping them; the second, that he causes the others to be destroyed. |
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
