Psalms 140:12,13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

I know, &c. Both by God's word, who hath promised it, and by my own experience of it in the course of God's providence; that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, &c. That he will not suffer might always to prevail against right, though it be but the right of the poor. God is, and will be, the patron of oppressed innocence, much more of persecuted piety; they that know him at all cannot but know this. Surely the righteous shall give thanks Shall have occasion to praise thee for their deliverance; the upright shall dwell in thy presence Shall constantly enjoy thy gracious and powerful presence, protection, and assistance.
