Commentary on Psalms 81:16

Theological / Devotional

He should have fed. Rather, “He should feed.” Such sudden changes from “I” to “he” are frequent in Hebrew poetry (see Ps. 22:26).

Finest. Literally, “fat” (see Deut. 32:14; Ps. 147:14). When God bestows His gifts, He chooses the best. There is nothing niggardly about our Father’s generosity.

Honey out of the rock. The best and purest honey, stored by the bees in the rocky fastness of the mountains (see Deut. 32:13).
