This indicates a confident assurance that his prayer would be answered, and that he would be restored to health. How he had this assurance we are not informed, but it seems most probable that it was by an intimation conveyed to his mind by God himself. Compare, for a similar case, Phi 1:25<\/span>. See the notes at that passage.<\/P> That thou favorest me – <\/B>That thou dost delight in me; that thou art my friend.<\/P> Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me – <\/B>The word here rendered triumph properly means to shout, or to make a noise. As a sign of exultation, more especially in war: 1Sa 17:20<\/span>. Here it means that his enemy would not secure a victory over him; or would not shout as if such a victory were obtained. That is, he felt assured now that all the machinations of his goes would be defeated; that all the hopes which they cherished that he was soon to die would be disappointed; that he himself would be recovered from Iris sickness, contrary to their malicious anticipations and desires. This he regarded as an evidence that God was his friend.<\/P> <\/p>\n Psa 41:11-13<\/span><\/p>\n By this I know that Thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Present favour and boundless hope<\/strong><\/p>\n The <\/em>last words of the psalm are sunny with the assurance of present favour and with boundless hope. The man is still lying on his sick-bed, ringed by whispering foes. There is no change without, but this change has passed: that he has tightened his hold of God, and therefore can feel that his enemies whispers will never rise or swell into a shout of victory over him. He can speak of the future deliverance as if present; and lie can look ahead over an indefinite stretch of sunlit country, scarcely knowing whether the furthest point is earth or no. His integrity is not sinless, nor does lie plead it as a reason for Jehovahs upholding, but hopes for it as the consequence of His sustaining hand. He knows that he will have close approach to Jehovah; and though, no doubt, for ever on his lips meant less than it does on ours, his assurance of continuous communion with God reached, if not to actual, clear consciousness of immortality, at all events to assurance of a future so indefinitely extended, and so brightened by the sunlight of Gods face, that it wanted but little additional extension or brightening to be the full assurance of life immortal. (A. Maclaren, D. D.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Psa 42:1-11 Verse 11<\/span>. By this I know that thou favourest me<\/B><\/I>] If thou hadst not been on my side, I had perished by this disease; and then my enemies would have had cause to triumph.<\/P> <\/P> This also has been applied to our Lord; and Calmet<\/I> says it is the greatest proof we have of the divinity of Christ, that he did not permit the malice of the Jews, nor the rage of the devil, to prevail against him. They might persecute, blaspheme, mock, insult, crucify, and slay him; but his resurrection<\/I> confounded them; and by it he gained the victory over sin, death, and hell.<\/P> <\/p>\n Thou favourest me; <\/B>bearest a good will to me, and art resolved to make good thy promises to me, and wilt plead my righteous cause against them. <\/P> Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me; <\/B>because hitherto thou hast helped and supported me, and prolonged my days to the disappointment of their hopes and designed triumphs. This mercy I thankfully receive as a token of further mercy. Compare 1Sa 17:37<\/span>; 2Co 1:9<\/span>,10<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n 11-13. favourest<\/B>or tenderlylovest me (Ge 34:19<\/span>), evincedby relief from his enemies, and, farther, God recognizes hisinnocence by upholding him.<\/P><\/p>\n By this I know that thou favourest me<\/strong>,…. Or “delightest in me” z; as he did, both as his Son and his servant; in his obedience, sufferings, and death, whereby his counsels were accomplished, his covenant ratified, and the salvation of his people procured; and which delight and well pleasedness in him was the ground of his deliverance from the power of death and the grave; see Ps 18:19<\/span>; the token by which Christ knew this was,<\/p>\n because mine enemy doth not triumph over me<\/strong>; Judas could not; he was too short lived, he was quickly taken away, and all the woes fall upon him imprecated on him, Ps 109:6<\/span>; nor the Jews; for though they were highly delighted when they had fastened him to the cross, and when he was dead, and laid in the grave; yet they could not sing their jubilee song over him until the third day was past; for they knew he had given out that he should rise again the third day; on which day he did rise, and his apostles preached that he was alive, and through him the resurrection of the dead, to their great grief, vexation, and mortification: nor did Satan, the enemy of Christ, personal and mystical, triumph over him; not in the wilderness, where, after he had tempted him, he was obliged to leave him; nor in the garden, and his agony there, where he was strengthened by an angel; nor even on the cross; for on that Christ himself triumphed over Satan and his principalities, whom he spoiled, and destroyed the devil and all his works; and, at his ascension to heaven, led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men, in token of triumph, and went forth, in the ministration of the Gospel, conquering, and to conquer; turning men from the power of Satan, and causing his servants to triumph in him, while they were in every place diffusing the savour of his knowledge.<\/p>\n z “complacuisti in me”, Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus; “delectaris me”, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius.<\/p>\n 11 By this I know that I have been acceptable to thee David now proceeds to the exercise of thanksgiving; unless, indeed, by altering the tense of the verb, we would rather with some read this verse in connection with the preceding, in this way: In this I shall know that thou favorest me, if thou suffer not my enemies to triumph over me; but it suits much better to understand it as an expression of joy on account of some deliverance which God had vouchsafed to him. After having offered up his prayers, he now ascribes his deliverance to God, and speaks of it as a manifest and singular benefit he had received from him. It might, however, be asked, whether it is a sufficiently sure method of our coming to the knowledge of God’s love towards us, that he does not suffer our enemies to triumph over us? for it will often happen, that a man is delivered from danger, whom, nevertheless, God does not regard with pleasure; and, besides, the good-will of God towards us is known chiefly from his word, and not simply by experience. The answer to this is easy: David was not destitute of faith, but for the confirmation of it he took advantage of the helps which God had afterwards added to his word. In speaking thus, he seems to refer not only to the favor and good-will which God bears to all the faithful in common, but to the special favor which God had conferred upon him in choosing him to be king; as if he had said, Now, Lord, I am more and more confirmed in the belief that thou hast vouchsafed to adopt me to be the first-born among the kings of the earth. Thus he extends to the whole state of the realm the help of God, by means of which he had been delivered from some particular calamity. <\/p>\n (11) By this I know.<\/strong>Better, shall know. <\/em>His restoration would be a sign of the Divine favour, and a pledge of his victory over his enemies.<\/p>\n Triumph.<\/strong>Literally, shout; <\/em>sing a paean.<\/p>\n 11<\/strong>. <\/strong> By this I know <\/strong> Already David discovers the hand of God in his favour, because, although not yet restored to health and power, his enemies do not succeed.<\/p>\n Psa 41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.<\/p>\n Ver. 11. By this I know that thou favourest me<\/strong> ] This is the triumph of trust and the fruit of faithful prayer; ever answered, sometimes before it is uttered, sometimes in, and sometimes alter the act; but we may be sure of an unmiscarrying return if we pray and not faint, Luk 18:1<\/span> , even such as shall bring us word that God favoureth our persons.<\/p>\n favourest = delightest, or hast pleasure in. Compare Mat 3:17; Mat 12:18; Mat 17:5. Isa 42:1. <\/p>\n triumph = shout with triumph. <\/p>\n because: Psa 13:4, Psa 31:8, Psa 35:25, Psa 86:17, Psa 124:6, Jer 20:13, Col 2:15 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 33:10 – I have seen Job 19:5 – magnify Psa 25:2 – let not Psa 27:12 – will Psa 30:1 – hast not<\/p>\n Psa 41:11-12. By this I know that thou favourest me Bearest a good will to me, and art resolved to make good thy promises to me, and wilt plead my righteous cause; because mine enemy doth not triumph over me Because hitherto thou hast supported me, and prolonged my days to the disappointment of his hopes, and designed triumphs. This mercy I thankfully receive as a token of further mercy. Thou upholdest me in mine integrity As, through thy grace, I have kept my integrity, so thou hast kept me in and with it. Or, thou upholdest me for my integrity; that is, because thou hast seen my innocence, notwithstanding all the calumnies of mine enemies; and settest me before thy face for ever Hebrew, , vetatzibeeni, wilt set, confirm, or establish me in thy presence, under thine eye and special care; to minister unto thee, as a king over thy people. And in regard of his posterity, the kingdom was established for ever. Let us learn from hence, if at any time we suffer in our reputation, to make it our chief care to preserve our integrity, and then cheerfully to leave it to God to secure our reputation. We must remember, however, that we cannot hold our integrity any longer than God upholds us in it; for, by his grace we are what we are: if we be left to ourselves we shall not only fall but fall, away. But it may be a comfort to us to know, that, however weak we are, God is able to uphold us in our integrity, and will do it, if we commit the keeping of our souls to him in well doing; and that those whom he now upholds in their integrity, he will set before his face for ever, and make them happy in the vision and fruition of himself. He that endures to the end shall be saved.<\/p>\n The psalmist regarded his continuing success over his enemies as a sign that God was pleased with him. God had upheld him because he continued to do right. He was confident this situation would continue forever.<\/p>\n By this I know that thou favorest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 11. By this I know that thou delightest in me. In the confidence of faith he can use the present: I know. Cp. Psa 20:6. For delightest in me, cp.
