LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
Ver. 166. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation] This saying he borrowed from good old Jacob, Genesis 49:18
And done thy commandments] Done them as I could; done them to Divine acceptation through Christ; and hence I have hoped: 1 John 3:3 "Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, as God is pure."
