This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





He shall send, either,



1. His angels, as Dan_3:28. Or,



2. His help. Or,



3. His hand; which is understood after this verb, 2Sa_6:6, by comparing 1Ch_13:9, where it is expressed. Or rather,



4. His mercy and his truth as it here follows, where also this verb is repeated before those words. Save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up, i.e. from that shameful destruction which they design to bring upon me. Or rather, as it is rendered in the margin of our Bible, and by many others, and as it is in the Hebrew, he hath reproached (i.e. he will certainly put to shame or reproach) him that would swallow me up, by disappointing his expectation, and delivering me from his rage.



Shall send forth his mercy and his truth, i.e. shall discover them by their proper fruits, to wit, by affording his gracious help in pursuance of his promises.
