I will not sit down in despair, but I will go on or proceed in my business courageously and cheerfully, in making necessary provisions for my own defence; relying only upon thy strength, and not upon my own military preparations. Make mention; partly to praise and celebrate it, and partly to support and comfort myself with the remembrance of it. Of thy righteousness; either,
1. Of thy mercy and goodness. Or rather,
2. Of thy faithfulness in making good all thy promises to me, as this word is commonly used in this book. Of thine only; not of my subjects and friends, who are false and perfidious to thee and to me; nor of my own; for I have been most unfaithful to thee, and have broken my covenant with thee.
