Ver. 3. Yea, he loved the people— Durell, in agreement with Houbigant, after the Samaritan, renders this verse thus;
O loving Father of the people! All the saints are at thy hand; They shall fall down at thy feet; They shall receive of thy words.
All the saints seem to mean, the most righteous among the multitudes of the house of Israel, the people, mentioned in the line preceding. At thy hand may be either rendered so, or near thy hand: to indicate the waiting and constant readiness of good men to perform God's commands; or it may be rendered, under thy hand; i.e. under thy care and protection. See Noldius, ב 6. & 30.
