I remember the days of old That is, but still, upon a more calm reflection, I consider what thou hast done for thy servants in former times, and likewise what thou hast done for me during the persecutions of Saul, and long before that time, in my younger days, when thou didst deliver me from the greatest danger: see 1 Samuel 17:34, &c. I stretch forth my hands, &c. I pray to thee fervently. My soul thirsteth after thee After thy favour and help; as a thirsty land For rain.
