We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
Ver. 5. We will rejoice in thy salvation] i.e. We are well assured that God will save us by thee, O king; and that shall produce a general joy among us. This confidence prayer hath begotten in him; for it is a sure grain, and if man would sow more of it in God's bosom, they shall not fail to reap the fruit and comfort of it in their greatest need. Pray, that your joy may be full.
And in the name of our God will we set up our banners] Our flags of defiance to the enemy, or our tokens of triumph to God's glory, who hath given us the victory. The Romans, when they had conquered an enemy, rode in triumph to the Capitol, where in all humility they presented a palm, or laurel bush, to Jupiter.
