Contextual Overview

¹¹Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His [great and wondrous] deeds. ¹²For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people); He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused. ¹³Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O LORD; See how I am afflicted by those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, ¹⁴That I may tell aloud all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion (Jerusalem) I may rejoice in Your salvation and Your help. ¹⁵The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. ¹⁶The LORD has made Himself known; He executes judgment; The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands. Higgaion (meditation) Selah. ¹⁷The wicked will turn to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), Even all the nations who forget God. ¹⁸For the poor will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the burdened perish forever. ¹⁹Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before You.²⁰Put them in [reverent] fear of You, O LORD, So that the nations may know they are but [frail and mortal] men.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Arise, O Lord,.... To the destruction of thine enemies, and the salvation of thy people; :-;

let not man prevail; the man of sin, antichrist, that is, let him not always prevail; he is the little horn that was to prevail against the saints, and has prevailed, Daniel 7:21; but he shall not always prevail; this petition will be heard and answered; for though he shall cast down many thousands, he shall not be "strengthened" by it,

Daniel 11:12; where the same word is used as here; the Lamb at last shall overcome him and his ten kings, his supporters, and all that shall aid and assist him, Revelation 17:14;

let the Heathen be judged in thy sight; that is, the antichristian nations that adhere to the man of sin, let them be judged and punished in the sight of God, the Judge of all the earth, whose eyes are as a flame of fire; compare with this Joel 3:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Arise, O Lord - See the notes at Psalms 3:7.

Let not man prevail - Against thee and thy cause. The war waged against the psalmist he regarded as waged against God, and he calls upon him, therefore, to interpose and vindicate his own cause. The word rendered “prevail” is be strong; that is, let not man seem to be stronger than thou art, or let, him not succeed in his efforts in opposing thy cause.

Let the heathen be judged in thy sight - The nations to whom the writer had referred in the psalm, that were arrayed against him and against God. He desired that a just judgment should be passed on them, and that God would vindicate the righteous, and save them from the power of those who oppressed and wronged them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 9:19. Arise, O Lord — Let this be the time in which thou wilt deliver thy poor people under oppression and persecution.
