Psalms 94

Psalms 94:1

Thy tokens - Terrible thunders and lightnings, and earthquakes, and comets or other strange meteors, or works of God in the air. Morning - The successive courses of the morning and evening; or of the sun and moon which go forth at those times. Thus the whole verse speaks of the natural works of God, the former clause, of such as are extraordinary and terrible, the latter of such as are ordinary and delightful.

Psalms 94:2

River - With rain, which he very significantly calls a river for its plenty, and the river of God, of God’s immediate providing. Them - The inhabitants of the earth. Provided - Or, disposed, the earth, which without this would be hard and barren.

Psalms 94:3

Bringest down - For the rain dissolves the high and hard clods of earth.

Psalms 94:5

Wilderness - Which though neglected by men, are furnished with food for beasts.

Psalms 94:6

Sing - They are abundantly satisfied with thy goodness, and in their manner sing forth the praise of their benefactor.

Psalms 94:8

All lands - Ye people of all nations. He invites the Gentile world, to the contemplation and celebration of God’s works.

Psalms 94:13

We - Our nation, or our ancestors, in whose loins we then were.

Psalms 94:17

Proved us - As it were in a burning furnace; and with a design to purge out our dross.

Psalms 94:18

Net - Which our enemies laid for us.

Psalms 94:19

To ride - To use us like slaves.

Psalms 94:22

I will go - One speaks in the name of all the rest. Incense - With the fat of rams, which is no less pleasing to God than incense.
