Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 1. Keep not thou silence ] A strong appeal to God just as the confederacy was discovered. Do not be inactive, do not be neuter. Thy honour and our existence are both at stake.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Sometimes God seems not to be concerned at the unjust treatment of his people. But then we may call upon him, as the psalmist here. All wicke people are God's enemies, especially wicked persecutors. The Lord' people are his hidden one; the world knows them not. He takes the under his special protection. Do the enemies of the church act with on consent to destroy it, and shall not the friends of the church be united? Wicked men wish that there might be no religion among mankind They would gladly see all its restraints shaken off, and all tha preach, profess, or practise it, cut off. This they would bring to pas if it were in their power. The enemies of God's church have always bee many: this magnifies the power of the Lord in preserving to himself church in the world.
