Now therefore let it please thee. — Rather, and now Thou hast willed to bless. Samuel: “and now be willing, and bless.”
For thou blessest, O Lord. — For Thou, Jehovah, hast blessed. Samuel is, as usual, fuller: “For thou, my Lord Jehovah, hast spoken [promised], and in virtue of thy blessing thy servant’s house shall be blessed for ever.” Numbers 22:6 illustrates our text.
