But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high - or rather, 'thy salvation shall set me upon high.' So the Septuagint, Vulgate, Arabic, Syriac, and Ethiopic. But the Chaldaic as the English version. His very misery, combined with his having committed his cause to God, gives him the confident anticipation that he shall be set up on high; whereas his enemies shall be brought low. This is the ground of Messiah's exaltation (Philippians 2:6-9). The praise follows more naturally (Psalms 69:30) in this view than in the English version.
