Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Ver. 10. Fear thou not, for I am with thee.] Cordialibus, ut ita dicam, verbls, Deus hoc eloquitur, - As long as a child hath his father by the hand, he feareth none. Quid timet hominem homo in sinu Dei positus? - What should he who lieth in God's own bosom fear any man alive? Is not God's presence security sufficient?
I will strengthen thee; I will help thee, &c.] I will, I will, I will. Oh the rhetoric of God! Oh the certainty of the promises!
With the right hand of my righteousness,] i.e., My righteous right hand, that shall right all thy wrongs.
