Psalms 7:7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For their sakes therefore— For that [cause] therefore. The words, compass thee about, allude to the Jewish rite of going round the temple and altar in time of divine worship. So that to compass about, in a triumphant and joyful procession, means, to adore, worship, and praise God. So Psalms 26:6. I will wash mine hands in innocency, and so will I compass, or go round thine altar. See Spencer de Leg. Heb. tom. 2:

Psalms 7:7

7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
