Commentaries on Psalms 50:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken - Here the essential names of God are used: יהוה אלהים אל El, Elohim, Yehovah, hath spoken. The six first verses of this Psalm seem to contain a description of the great judgment: to any minor consideration or fact it seems impossible, with any propriety, to restrain them. In this light I shall consider this part of the Psalm, and show: - First, The preparatives to the coming of the great Judge. El Elohim Jehovah…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1The mighty God, even the Lord - Even “Yahweh,” for this is the original word.

The idea is, that he who speaks is the true God; the Supreme Ruler…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1The glory of God. (1-6) Sacrifices to be changed for prayers. (7-15) Sincere obedience required. (16-23) Verses 1-6 This psalm is a psalm of instruction. It tells of the coming of Christ and the day of judgment, in which God will call men to account; and the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of judgement. All the children of men are concerned to know the right way of worshipping the Lord, in spirit and in truth. In the great day, our God shall come, and make those…Read the comment
