Psalms 63:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

Thus will I bless thee while I live - literally, in my lives - i:e., on my restoration to the good things of life, as well as to what I prize far more-thy loving-kindness revealed in thy sanctuary-I will bless thee with all that I have and all that I am. The 'lives' here refer to the 'lives' in Psalms 63:3.

I will lift up my hands in thy name (Psalms 28:2) - namely, praising thee for thy character of power and love revealed in my behalf. God's name is God's revelation of Himself (Psalms 20:1; Psalms 20:5).
