Gill's Exposition on Psalms 9:14

That I may show forth all thy praise,.... That is, all thy bounties and acts of goodness, deserving of praise; even as many of them as he had an experience of, and which came within his knowledge;

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 9:14

In the gates, i.e. in the great assemblies, which were usually in the gates. Compare . These gates he elegantly opposeth to the former, and declareth that if he be brought off them, he will go into these. Of the daughter of Zion; either, 1. Of Jerusalem, so called also , because at this time it was subject to Zion; which at this time was the seat of the king’ s palace, and of the ark. For cities or towns belonging or subject unto any metropolis are commonly called its daughters, as ; as the chief cities are called mothers, as . Or, 2. Of the people who live in, or belong to, or meet together for civil and religious matters in Zion. For cities are as it were mothers to their people, giving them birth and breeding, and therefore the people are commonly called their daughters. So the names of the daughters of Egypt, , and of Edom, ,22, and of Tyre, , and of Babel, , and of Jerusalem, ,15 Micah 4:8, are put for the people of those places. I will rejoice, to wit, with spiritual joy and thanksgiving; else it were no fit motive to be used to God in prayer.

Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 9:14

Psalms 9:14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.Ver. 14. That I may show forth all thy praise] i.e. All that I can compass or attain unto. Aliter omnes laudes Dei diei non possunt, quia plures ignorat homo quam novit, saith R. David here; for all the praises of God cannot be shown forth, since those we know not are more than those we know. In the gates of the daughter of Zion] These are opposed to the gates of death, as Aben Ezra here noteth; and betoken the most public places, and best frequented.

Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 9:14

(13, 14) It is natural to take these verses as the cry for help just mentioned. Consider.—Literally, see my suffering from my haters.My lifter up from the gates of death.—For the gates of sheol, see Note to Psalms 6:5. (Comp. Psalms 107:18, and the Homeric phrase “the gates of Hades.”) We might perhaps paraphrase “from the verge of the grave,” if it were not for the evident antithesis to “gates of the daughter of Zion” in the next verse. We understand, therefore, “gates” in sense of “power,” “rule,” the gate being the seat of the judge or king, and so, like our “court,” synonymous for his power. (Comp. Sublime Porte.) Daughter of Zion—i.e., Zion itself (see Isaiah 37:22): a common personification of cities and their inhabitants. So of Edom (Lamentations 4:21); of Babylon (Psalms 137:8, &c).

Cambridge Bible on Psalms 9:14

14. in the gates] i.e. with the utmost publicity (Psalms 116:14); for the city gates were the common place of concourse and business, corresponding to the agora or forum of Greece and Rome. Cp. Job 29:7; Proverbs 8:3; Jeremiah 17:19-20. The implied contrast between “the cheerful ways of men” and the gloomy entrance to the nether world is obvious. Ports (P.B.V.) is an obsolete word for gates, from Lat. porta. the daughter of Zion] A poetical personification of the citizens or the city as an individual. Originally Zion was thought of as the mother, the citizens collectively as her daughter; but as terms for land and people are easily interchanged, the expression came to be applied to the city itself (Isaiah 1:8; Lamentations 2:15). ‘Daughter of Zion’ occurs nowhere else in the Psalter (see however ‘daughter of Tyre,’ Psalms 45:12; ‘daughter of Babylon,’ Psalms 137:8), but together with the cognate phrases ‘daughter of Jerusalem,’ ‘daughter of my people’ &c. frequently in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, Zephaniah, Zechariah, and is specially characteristic of the Lamentations. salvation] R.V. marg., saving help. See note on Psalms 3:8.

Barnes' Notes on Psalms 9:14

That I may show forth all thy praise - That I may praise time in the land of the living; that I may finish the work of praise by rendering to thee all that is due.

Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 9:14

13, 14. Consider my trouble—The tone of the psalm suddenly changes from that of triumphal joy to supplication. Such sudden transitions are not unfrequent in poetry of the earlier and ruder ages, but they are never without cause.
