O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Ver. 16. O turn unto me] Or, look toward me; the life of a believer consisteth in the light of God's countenance.
Give thy strength unto thy servant] Master, pray lend me your hand, saith the servant to his master when he wants help.
And save the son of thine handmaid] q.d. I was born in thy house, came of religious parents, &c., therefore do me good for their sakes at least, as Ishmael was blessed for Abraham's.
