Psalm 9
1. David praises God for executing judgment
11. He incites others to praise him
13. He prays that he may have cause to praise him














Those who know Your name
This phrase emphasizes the importance of a personal and intimate understanding of God's character and essence. In Hebrew, the word for "know" is "yada," which implies a deep, experiential knowledge rather than mere intellectual awareness. The "name" of God in the Hebrew context often represents His nature, authority, and reputation. Knowing God's name means recognizing His attributes such as faithfulness, justice, and mercy. Historically, the Israelites experienced God's character through His actions and covenants, which reinforced their trust in Him.

trust in You
Trust, or "batach" in Hebrew, conveys a sense of security and confidence. It is not a passive belief but an active reliance on God. This trust is built on the foundation of knowing God's name and character. Throughout the Bible, trust in God is portrayed as a refuge and strength, especially in times of trouble. The historical context of the psalm, possibly during David's reign, reflects a period where trust in God was essential for survival and victory over enemies.

for You, O LORD
The use of "LORD" in all caps signifies the translation of the divine name "YHWH" or "Yahweh," which is the covenant name of God revealed to Moses. This name is associated with God's eternal existence and His unchanging nature. It is a reminder of God's personal relationship with His people and His commitment to His promises. The invocation of "YHWH" here underscores the personal and covenantal aspect of the trust being expressed.

have not forsaken
The Hebrew word "azab" means to leave, abandon, or forsake. This assurance that God does not forsake His people is a recurring theme in Scripture, providing comfort and hope. Historically, the Israelites experienced periods of exile and hardship, yet the promise of God's presence remained a cornerstone of their faith. This phrase reassures believers of God's unwavering commitment and presence, even in difficult times.

those who seek You
To "seek" in Hebrew is "darash," which implies a diligent pursuit or inquiry. Seeking God involves a wholehearted effort to understand and follow His will. It is an active engagement in prayer, worship, and obedience. The historical context of seeking God often involved communal worship and adherence to the law, reflecting a lifestyle centered around God's presence. This phrase encourages believers to continually pursue a deeper relationship with God, knowing that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

(10) They that know.--They who know the name of Jehovah will trust Him, because they know it to be a watchword of strength and protection.

Seek.--From root meaning "to tread" or "frequent a place," possibly with allusion to frequenting the courts of the Temple.

Verse 10. - And they that know thy Name will put their trust in thee. "To know the Name of God is to know him according to his historical manifestation; when one hears him named, to call to remembrance all that he has done. His name is the focus in which all the rays of his actions meet" (Hengstenberg). All who "know God's Name" in this sense will be sure to "put their trust in him," since his historical manifestation shows that he is thoroughly to he depended on. For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Never in the past, so far as David knew, had God forsaken those who faithfully clung to him. They might be tried, like Job; they might be "hunted upon the mountains," like David himself; they might even have the sense of being forsaken (Psalm 22:1); but they were not forsaken nevertheless. God "forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever" (Psalm 37:28).
