Thou hast commanded us, &c. Nor is it strange that thy people do so exactly and diligently observe thy precepts, because they are commanded so to do by thee, their sovereign Lord. O that my ways were directed Hebrew, יכנו, established, namely, by thy grace and Holy Spirit, for the direction of God's word he had already. Then shall I not be ashamed Either of my actions, or of my hope and confidence in thy favour, but shall lift up my head with courage and boldness, both before men, when they accuse or persecute me, and even before God in the day of judgment, as is said 1 John 4:17. When I have respect A due respect, which implies hearty affection, diligent study, and constant practice; unto all thy commandments So as not to be partial in my obedience, nor to allow myself in the commission of any known sin, nor in the neglect of any known duty.
