O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. As the servant's duty is to serve his master, so the master's part is to defend the servant. The phrase "the son of thine handmaid" points to the Antitype, Messiah, the Son of that meek servant of God who said (Luke 1:38) "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord."
