On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The eye - Whosoever therefore would have safety, must expect it only from the watchful eye, and almighty hand of God. That fear - These are the chief objects of his care and favour. Hope - That place their hope and trust, and happiness, not in any creature, but only in God, and in his mercy and blessings.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

He does not say that he will give them abundance (they have no reason either to desire it or to expect it), but he will keep them alive; they shall not starve; and, when destroying judgments are abroad, it ought to be reckoned a great favour, for it is a very striking one, and lays us under peculiar obligations, to have our lives given us for a prey.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 4 For the word of the L ORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. 5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the L ORD .
