14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
14 that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
14 that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
14 I'll write the book on Hallelujahs; on the corner of Main and First I'll hold a street meeting; I'll be the song leader; we'll fill the air with salvation songs.
14 That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.
14 Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem's gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.
2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.
2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
2 and oh, how God loves his home! Loves it far better than all the homes of Jacob put together!
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
2 He loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other city in Israel.
(Read Psalm 87:1-3)
Christ himself is the Foundation of the church, which God has laid. Holiness is the strength and firmness of the church. Let us not be ashamed of the church of Christ in its meanest condition, nor of those that belong to it, since such glorious things are spoken of it. Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, even Jesus Christ. The glorious things spoken of Zion by the Spirit, were all typical of Christ, and his work and offices; of the gospel church, its privileges and members; of heaven, its glory and perfect happiness.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 9:14
Commentary on Psalm 9:11-20
(Read Psalm 9:11-20)
Those who believe that God is greatly to be praised, not only desire to praise him better themselves, but desire that others may join with them. There is a day coming, when it will appear that he has not forgotten the cry of the humble; neither the cry of their blood, or the cry of their prayers. We are never brought so low, so near to death, but God can raise us up. If he has saved us from spiritual and eternal death, we may thence hope, that in all our distresses he will be a very present help to us. The overruling providence of God frequently so orders it, that persecutors and oppressors are brought to ruin by the projects they formed to destroy the people of God. Drunkards kill themselves; prodigals beggar themselves; the contentious bring mischief upon themselves: thus men's sins may be read in their punishment, and it becomes plain to all, that the destruction of sinners is of themselves. All wickedness came originally with the wicked one from hell; and those who continue in sin, must go to that place of torment. The true state, both of nations and of individuals, may be correctly estimated by this one rule, whether in their doings they remember or forget God. David encourages the people of God to wait for his salvation, though it should be long deferred. God will make it appear that he never did forget them: it is not possible he should. Strange that man, dust in his and about him, should yet need some sharp affliction, some severe visitation from God, to bring him to the knowledge of himself, and make him feel who and what he is.
