This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thine age, i.e. the remainder of thy life and time in this world.
Shall be clearer, Heb. shall arise. Men are said to fall into troubles, and to arise out of them.
Than the noon-day; or, above the noon-day, or above the sun at noon-day, when it is at its highest pitch, as well as in its greatest glory.
Thou shalt shine forth: light in Scripture commonly signifies prosperity and glory, as Est_8:16 Job_18:5,6 38:15 Pro_4:18. Or, if thou art in darkness, as this word properly signifies, Job_10:22 Amo_4:13, i.e. if thou comest into any distress and trouble. Shalt be as the morning, i.e. that night of trouble shall certainly and speedily be followed with the morning of deliverance and comfort, which, like the morning light, shall shine brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
