Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 8-13. - The joyful anticipation. The psalmist anticipates a favourable answer to his prayer, and proceeds to note down the chief points of it. God will "speak peace to his people" (ver. 8), bring his salvation near to them (ver. 9), contrive a way by which "mercy and truth," "righteousness and peace," shall be reconciled (vers. 10, 11), shower blessings on his land (ver. 12), and guide his people in the way marked out by his own footsteps (ver. 13). Verse 8. - I will hear what God the Lord will speak; i.e. "I will wait now and hear the Divine answer to my prayers" (comp. Habakkuk 3:1, "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me"). For he will speak peace unto his people. He will give them a gentle answer - one breathing peace and loving kindness. And to his saints. And especially he will so answer the elite of his people - the khasidim, "his saints," or "loving ones." But let them not turn again to folly (comp. Ezra 9:10-14). If, after the deliverance that they had experienced, they turned again to such "folly" as had brought on their misfortunes, it would make their end worse than their beginning.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Speak peace . . .--This word "peace" comprehends all that the nation sighed for:"Peace,Dear nurse of arts, plenties, and joyful truth."To Christians the word has a higher meaning still, which directed the choice of this psalm for Christmas Day.Folly.--See Psalm 14:1; Psalm 49:13. Here it most probably implies idolatry.
