RRB notes on Psalm 9

Psalms 9 KJV

To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.

1. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew 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. [a]

[a] Second Advent (see notes on Psa. 8:1, 9:11).

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. [b]

[b] Second Advent (Matt. 25:31-46).

8. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment [c] to the people in uprightness.

[c] See note on Psa. 7:8

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.

11. Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: [1] declare among the people his doings.

[1] He’s not “dwelling in Zion” right now at all. All the apostates had to convert that “Zion” into “the Church” in order to get God to “dwell there.” This threw out the entire revelation. God dwells there literally at the Second Advent (Ezek. 48:35). They just don’t want Him to come back, but He will (Isa. 2:3-4, 24:23; Zech. 2:11).

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 shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15. The heathen [d] are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

[d] Second Advent (Psa. 46:6, 102:15, 110:6; Ezek. 37:28, 38:16, 39:7; Joel 3:12).

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. [e]

[e] The United Nations at the Second Advent (Matt. 25:32; Psa. 10:16, 22:28, 47:7-8, 60:12, 72:11, 17, etc.).

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. [f] 

[f] Second Advent (Psa. 7:6, 10:12, 17:13; Joel 3:12).

20. Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Note on Psa. 8:1

Psa 8:1 KJV

1. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! [1] who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

[1] The God of Israel has never had an excellent name “in all the earth,” but He will in the Millennium under a military dictatorship where He is the King (Psa. 72:9, 110:1-7; Isa. 2:2-4, 49:22-23; Rev. 2:26-27; App. 63, 110).

7. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

[a] Vss. 7-8 are Second Advent references (Psa. 50:6, 94:2, 9:8, 72:2, 110:6; Isa. 3:13, 40:23).

 RRB notes on Psalm 38

Psa 38 KJV

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

6. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

7. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

9. Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

10. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. [a]

[a] As Job (Job 19:13).

12. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

13. But I, as a deaf man, [b] heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

[b] As Christ (Isa. 42:19).

14. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15. For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

16. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

17. For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20. They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

21. Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.

22. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
