Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 1. They that trust in the Lord ] Every faithful Jew who confides in Jehovah shall stand, in those open and secret attacks of the enemies of God and truth, as unshaken as Mount Zion; and shall not be moved by the power of any adversary.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-3 - All those minds shall be truly stayed, that are stayed on God. The shall be as Mount Zion, firm as it is; a mountain supported by providence, much more as a holy mountain supported by promise. The cannot be removed from confidence in God. They abide for ever in tha grace which is the earnest of their everlasting continuance in glory Committing themselves to God, they shall be safe from their enemies Even mountains may moulder and come to nothing, and rocks be removed but God's covenant with his people cannot be broken, nor his care of them cease. Their troubles shall last no longer than their strengt will bear them up under them. The rod of the wicked may come, may fal upon the righteous, upon their persons, their estates, their liberties their families names, on any thing that falls to their lot; only i cannot reach their souls. And though it may come upon their lot, it shall not rest thereon. The Lord will make all work together for their good. The wicked shall only prove a correcting rod, not a destroying sword; even this rod shall not remain upon them, lest they distrust the promise, thinking God has cast them off.
