Psalms 135:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

For the Lord will judge his people ... he will repent himself concerning his servants - from Deuteronomy 32:36. Compare Moses' prayer Psalms 90:13. The connection is, turning from addressing the Lord to his fellow-men, the Psalmist implies, I said with truth, that 'the Lord's name will endure forever' (Psalms 135:13); for though now the memorial of the Lord's character as the former Deliverer of His people, seems well-nigh obliterated by our present miseries, yet at length the Lord will repent of chastising us further and will vindicate our cause. Compare Psalms 9:4; Psalms 10:18; Psalms 54:1. 'Repenting,' when attributed to the Lord, refers to His outward change of treatment of men. His essential principle and righteous will knows no change or repenting (Numbers 23:19).
