Bible Question: history of psalm 50 |
Bible Answer: good afternoon: i'm not quite sure what you are really asking for when you ask for "the history of psalm 50" but i'm assuming that you might be asking about its meaning and/or writer. the following comes from Matthew Henry's Commentary but there are many, many excellent commentaries to be found on line and elsewhere. "This psalm, as the former (psalm), is a psalm of instruction, not of prayer or praise; it is a psalm of reproof and admonition, in singing which we are to teach and admonish one another. In the foregoing psalm, after a general demand of attention, God by his prophet deals (ver. 3) with the children of this world, to convince them of their sin and folly in setting their hearts upon the wealth of this world; in this psalm, after a like preface, he deals with those that were, in profession, the church's children, to convince them of their sin and folly in placing their religion in ritual services, while they neglected practical godliness; and this is as sure a way to ruin as the other. This psalm is intended, 1. As a proof to the carnal Jews, both those that rested in the external performances of their religion, and were remiss in the more excellent duties of prayer and praise, and those that expounded the law to others, but lived wicked lives themselves. 2. As a prediction of the abolishing of the ceremonial law, and of the introducing of a spiritual way of worship in and by the kingdom of the Messiah, John iv. 23, 24. 3. As a representation of the day of judgment, in which God will call men to an account concerning their observance of those things which they have thus been taught." Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible this psalm is attributed to "Asaph" (or one of his descendants). Asaph was one of King David's 3 choir leaders. he (or a descendant) is also credited with psalms 73-83). hope this info is helpful. God bless you as you continue to study God's word. |
