So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. We thy people - Whom thou hast chosen from among all the people of the earth.
And sheep of thy pasture - Of whom thou thyself art the Shepherd. Let us not be destroyed by those who are thy enemies; and we, in all our generations, will give thanks unto thee for ever.
Commentary on the Bible, by Adam Clarke [1831].
