Bible Comments

But do thou for me, O God Namely, what I desire, which he expresses in the next clause, saying, Deliver thou me Or, he means, Do thou act for me; be not silent or still, but stir up thyself to work on my behalf; for thy name's sake For the glory of thy faithfulness, which is highly concerned in giving me the deliverance which thou hast promised me; because thy mercy is good That is, gracious, and ready to do good to all, but especially to those that love and fear thee. For I am poor and needy And therefore a very proper object for thy pity and help. And my heart is wounded within me I am wounded not slightly, but even to the very heart, with soul-piercing sorrows.
