Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 1. Behold, bless ye the Lord ] I believe hnh hinneh should be taken here in the sense of take heed! Be upon your guard; you serve a jealous God; provoke him not.
Which by night stand ] Who minister during the night.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- An exhortation to bless the Lord.
--We must stir up ourselves to give glory to God, and encourag ourselves to hope for mercy and grace from him. It is an excellent pla to fill up all our spare minutes with pious meditations, and prayer and praises. No time would then be a burden, nor should we murder ou hours by trifling conversation and vain amusements, or by carna indulgences. We need desire no more to make us happy, than to be blessed of the Lord. We ought to beg spiritual blessings, not only for ourselves, but for others; not only, The Lord bless me, but, The Lor bless thee; thus testifying our belief that there is enough for other as well as for us, and showing our good will to others _________________________________________________
