Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He hath given meat unto them that fear him - Margin, "prey." The idea is, that he has supplied their needs. The Hebrew word is, "prey," and the allusion is to the mode in which the needs of the beasts of the field are supplied. The meaning may be that they had obtained this from their enemies, as beasts of prey take their food by making war; or the word may be used in a general sense, as meaning that God had supplied their needs.
He will ever be mindful of his covenant - He will never leave or forsake his people; he will be faithful to all the promises that he has made to them. |

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Meat - All necessary provisions for their being and well - being. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He hath given meat - טרף tereph, Prey. This may allude to the quails in the wilderness. The word signifies what is taken in hunting - wild beasts, venison, or fowls of any kind; particularly such as were proper for food. It also signifies spoil taken from enemies. And he may also refer to the wondrous manner in which they were fed and supported during their captivity; and by his support he proved that he was mindful of his covenant. He had promised such blessings; he was faithful to his promises. |
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
