My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [thereof], and be glad.
Ver. 2. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord] This holy gloriation is a Christian's duty not to be neglected. The Church in the Canticles is much in it; and so is St Paul. It showeth a heart full of joys unspeakable and full of glory, 1 Peter 1:8. And, besides, God is thereby greatly glorified, Jeremiah 9:23,24 .
The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad] Not for my sake only, but their own, as conceiving good hope of like deliverance. But, then, they must be as I am, not only humbled, but humble; low, but lowly.
