O my soul, thou hast said, &c.— I have said unto the Lord. Houbigant. My goodness extendeth not to thee, means, as applied to Christ, that the services which he performed by his ministry, and the benefits which he procured by his sufferings, did not, properly speaking, make any addition of happiness or glory to God; because, being infinitely perfect in himself, his glory cannot be increased by any services that are paid him. The saints and excellent mentioned in the next verse, mean the faithful in general, those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus. See 1 Corinthians 1:2. John 17.
