Psalms 9:18 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. The needy shall not alway be forgotten - The needy, and the poor, whose expectation is from the Lord, are never forgotten, though sometimes their deliverance is delayed for the greater confusion of their enemies, the greater manifestation of God's mercy, and the greater benefit to themselves.
