For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Thy name sake ... - or (as the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Arabic), continuing the ground on which the prayer (Psalms 31:2) rests, translate, 'And for thy name's sake (for the sake of thy manifested attributes-for instance, thy righteousness, Psalms 31:1; Psalms 23:3), thou wilt lead me and guide me, thou wilt pull me out of the net.' The Chaldaic and Syriac support the English version.
