Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 11:6

_ _ Their punishment is described by vivid figures denoting abundant, sudden, furious, and utter destruction (compare Genesis 19:24; Job 18:15; Psalms 7:15; Psalms 9:15).

_ _ cup — is a frequent figure for God’s favor or wrath (Psalms 16:5; Psalms 23:5; Matthew 20:22, Matthew 20:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 11:4-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 11:6

Rain — Send them plentifully, swiftly, and suddenly, as rain commonly falls from heaven. Snares — Grievous plagues or judgments, which are called snares, because wicked men are often surprized with them when they least expect them. And because they cannot escape them, or get out of them; but are held fast and destroyed by them. Horrible tempests — Dreadful judgments so called, in allusion to the destruction of Sodom by these means. But this he seems to speak not so much of present calamities, as of eternal punishments. This — Is their portion, and as it were the meat and drink appointed them by God.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 11:6

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, (e) fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the (f) portion of their cup.

(e) As in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

(f) Which they will drink even to the dregs, (Ezekiel 23:34).
