This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Unto him, i.e. to my judge, or adversary.



The number of my steps, i.e. the whole course of my life and actions, which I would exactly number to him, step by step, so far as I can remember. I would not answer his allegations against me, but furnish him with further matter of the same kind, and then answer all together.



As a prince, i.e. with undaunted courage, and confidence, and assurance of success, as being clearly conscious of my own sincerity; not like a self-condemned malefactor, as my friends suppose me to be.



Would I go near unto him, and not run away, or hide myself from my judge, as guilty persons desire to do.
