This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





I will not sit down in despair, but I will go on or proceed in my business courageously and cheerfully, in making necessary provisions for my own defence; relying only upon thy strength, and not upon my own military preparations.



Make mention; partly to praise and celebrate it, and partly to support and comfort myself with the remembrance of it.



Of thy righteousness; either,



1. Of thy mercy and goodness. Or rather,



2. Of thy faithfulness in making good all thy promises to me, as this word is commonly used in this book. Of thine only; not of my subjects’ and friends’, who are false and perfidious to thee and to me; nor of my own; for I have been most unfaithful to thee, and have broken my covenant with thee.
