Psalms 69:34

“Wait on the Lord, etc.] In the way of his appointments and ordinances; where may be learned the design of his providences, and of the prosperity of the wicked, and their end, (<197316>Psalm 73:16-18); and in a providential way, for the performance of his promises, in which he never fails; and patiently bear whatever he is pleased to lay upon them; waiting for a deliverance out of every affliction, which will be in his own time. The Chaldee paraphrase “trust in the word of the Lord;” and keep his way: which he has pointed out in his word, and has directed his people to walk in; though tempted by Satan to turn aside to the right hand or the left; though wicked men reproach, persecute, and seek…”

“The call on the universe for praise is well sustained by the prediction of the perpetual and extended blessings which shall come upon the covenant-people of God. Though, as usual, the imagery is taken from terms used of Palestine, the whole tenor of the context indicates that the spiritual privileges and blessings of the Church are meant. Next: Psalms Chapter 71”

“Let the heaven and earth praise him - All things; all above and all below. The seas - The waters - the oceans. This is in accordance with what often occurs in the Scriptures, when all things, animate and inanimate, are called on to praise God. Compare Psalms 148:1-14. And everything that moveth therein - Margin, as in Hebrew, “creepeth.” Compare the notes at Psalms 8:8. See also the notes at Isaiah 55:12. return to 'Top of Page'”
