Psalms 143:10 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness— Let thy good Spirit lead me through plain ground. Mudge: Who observes, "I have translated it so, as the clause before leads to this sense; and there is an expression much the same, Psalms 27:11 in which he prays God to conduct him in a plain and level way. Such was that of God's law; because, if he went out of that, he would be liable to stumble, and his enemies would take advantage to his prejudice." But, considering the particular circumstances of the Psalmist in these two psalms, I am inclined to think that he prays to God to be safely conducted into the plain country out of that rude mountainous wild where he was now forced to secrete himself.
