Contextual Overview

1 I wyl prayse God with all myne heart: I wyl recite all thy marueylous workes. 2 I wyll be glad & reioyce in thee: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thy name, O thou most hyest. 3 For that myne enemies are returned backwarde: are fallen and perished at thy presence. 4 For that thou hast geuen iudgement in my ryght and cause: thou that iudgest right, hast sit in the throne of iudgement. 5 Thou hast rebuked the Heathen, and destroyed the vngodly: thou hast abolished their name for euer and euer. 6 O thou enemie thou thoughtest to bryng vs to a perpetuall desolation: and to destroy our cities, so that there shoulde remayne no memory of them. 7 But God wyll sit for euer: he hath prepared his throne for iudgement. 8 For he wyll iudge the world in iustice: and minister iudgement vnto the people in righteousnesse. 9 God also wyll be a refuge for the oppressed: euen a refuge in tyme of trouble. 10 And they that knowe thy name wyll put their trust in thee: for thou O God hast neuer fayled them that seeke thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,.... The poor and weak, such as have no might nor power, and are thrown down and trampled upon, as the word i signifies; and such are the people of God. They are oppressed with the burden of sin; they are bowed down with Satan and his temptations; and are sometimes pressed out of measure, and above their strength, with the persecutions of men; they are trodden under foot by antichrist, or otherwise are borne down with a variety of sorrows and afflictions; but the Lord is a refuge for them. The Chaldee paraphrase renders it as before, "the Word of the Lord", the eternal Logos, the Son of God: he is a refuge for poor sensible sinners, fleeing from wrath to come; being typified by the cities of refuge, whither the manslayer fled from the avenger of blood: he is the strong hold for the prisoners of hope to turn into; his name is a strong tower and place of defence for oppressed saints; he is a refuge when all others fail, and at all times, in the day of affliction, and in the hour of death, and at judgment;

a refuge in times of trouble; of which the saints have many, as when God hides his face, when corruptions prevail, when grace is low in exercise, and temptations are strong, yet even then Christ is the refuge from the storm; the salvation of his people is of him, and he is their strength in every time of trouble; see Isaiah 25:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Lord also will be a refuge - Margin, an high place. The margin expresses the more exact sense of the, Hebrew word - משׂגב miśgâb. It means properly height, altitude; then a height, rock, crag; and then, as such localities, being inaccessible to an enemy, were sought in times of danger as places of secure retreat, it comes to denote a place of security and refuge, Psalms 18:2; Psalms 46:7, Psalms 46:11; Psalms 48:3; Psalms 59:9, Psalms 59:17; Psalms 94:22. The declaration here is equivalent to what is so often said, that God is a refuge, a rock, a high tower, a defense; meaning, that those referred to might find safety in him. See the notes at Psalms 18:2.

For the oppressed - literally, for those who are crushed, broken; hence, the dejected, afflicted, unhappy - דך dak - from דכך mor dākak - to beat small; to break in pieces; to crush. The allusion here is to those who are wronged or down-trodden; to the victims of tyranny and injustice. Such may look to God to vindicate them and their cause, and they will not look in vain. Sooner or later he will manifest himself as their protector and their helper. See Psalms 9:12.

A refuge in times of trouble - Not only for the oppressed, but for all those who are in trouble. Compare Psalms 46:1. That is, all such may come to him with the assurance that he will be ready to pity them in their sorrows, and to deliver them. The psalmist had found it so in his own case; and he infers that it would be so in all cases, and that this might be regarded as the general character of God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 9:9. A refuge — משגב misgab, a high place, where their enemies can neither reach nor see them. He who has God for his portion has all safety in him.
