Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake - for the sake of thine own glory, that thou mayest show thyself to be the God of loving-kindness and power which thou art esteemed to be. Compare Psalms 23:3; Psalms 25:11; Psalms 31:3, on the words, "for thy name's sake," with "quicken me" (cf. Psalms 138:7).
For thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. Thy righteousness is concerned to vindicate my righteous cause, and to fulfill thy promises (Psalms 143:1). "Bring my soul out of prison" Psalms 142:7, corresponds to Psalms 25:15; Psalms 34:17.
