I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
From afar - not trite commonplaces, but drawn from God's mighty works.
Ascribe righteousness - whereas Job had ascribed unrighteousness (Job 34:10-12). A man. in inquiring into God's ways, should at the outset presume they are all just, be willing to find them so, and expect that the result of investigation will prove them to be so; such a one will never be disappointed (Barnes).
