Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings ... - In the presence of men of most elevated rank. I will not be ashamed to avow my belief in thy word before those in power - whether friendly or unfriendly to thee and to thy cause. I will not disguise my belief in thy truth with any desire to secure their favor; I will not be intimidated from expressing my faith by any dread of their frowns. Compare Mat 10:18-19; Act 4:19; Act 5:29; Act 26:2. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| I will speak - before kings - Dr. Delaney supposes that this is spoken in reference to Achish, king of Gath, whom David had instructed in the Jewish religion; but we have already seen that it is most likely that the Psalm was compiled under the Babylonish captivity. But the words may with more propriety be referred to the case of Daniel, and other bold and faithful Israelites, who spoke courageously before Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius. See the books of Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah. |
2 I think [2233] myself [1683] happy [3107], king [935] Agrippa [67], because I shall [3195] answer for myself [626] this day [4594] before [1909] thee [4675] touching [4012] all the things [3956] whereof [3739] I am accused [1458] of [5259] the Jews [2453]:
29 Then [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] the other apostles [652] answered [611] and said [2036], We ought [1163] to obey [3980] God [2316] rather [3123] than [2228] men [444].
19 But [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491] answered [611] and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Whether [1487] it be [2076] right [1342] in the sight [1799] of God [2316] to hearken [191] unto you [5216] more than [3123] [2228] unto God [2316], judge ye [2919].
18 And [2532] ye shall be brought [71] before [1909] governors [2232] and [2532] [1161] kings [935] for my [1752] sake [1700], for [1519] a testimony [3142] against them [846] and [2532] the Gentiles [1484].
19 But [1161] when [3752] they deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860], take [3309] no [3361] thought [3309] how [4459] or [2228] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980]: for [1063] it shall be given [1325] you [5213] in [1722] that same [1565] hour [5610] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980].
