David blesses God for his mercy both to him and to man5. He prays that God would powerfully deliver him from his enemies 9. He promises to praise God 11. He prays for the happy state of the kingdom (14) This verse is full of obscurities. The words rendered "oxen, strong to labour," can hardly bear this meaning with the present pointing, since the participle is passive, and there is no authority for rendering oxen bearing burdens. The words have been rendered oxen laden, either with the produce of the land, or with their own fat (so apparently the LXX.), or with young, pregnant--all open to the objection that the passive of to bear must mean "to be borne," and the latter to the further objection that the words are in the masculine. But since all-phim elsewhere means "heads of families" (Jeremiah 13:21, &c) or "princes," and the noun cognate with the verb is used of a post connected with the revenue (1Kings 11:28; comp. the connection between the Greek ????? and ????????), the participle passive may easily here mean "honoured," or "high in office." Or, from the use of the cognate Chaldee form in Ezra 6:3, "strongly laid," we might render, our princes firmly established; and this is the best explanation of the passage. No breaking in.--Heb., a "breach," i.e., in the town walls. LXX. and Vulg., "no falling of the fence." Others refer to the folds for cattle. (See Psalm 60:2.) Ewald, however, connecting closely with the mention of "pregnant oxen," renders no abortion. So Syriac: "Our cattle are great (with young), and there is not a barren one among them." Nor going out--i.e., either to war, or into captivity (Prayer Book version), or the breaking out of cattle. The first is the more probable. Complaining.--Rather, outcry, cry of sorrow, as in Jeremiah 14:2; or possibly, cry of battle. . . . Verse 14. - That our oxen may be strong to labor; rather, and our oxen are heavily laden. A sign that an abundant harvest is being gathered in. That there be no breaking in, nor going out; literally, and there is no breach and no removal; i.e. no breach made in our walls, and no removal of our population into captivity. That there be no complaining in our streets; rather, and no wailing in our streets. Here the description of a happy time ends, and a burst of congratulation follows (see the next verse).Parallel Commentaries ...
