Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. Though the Lord be high ] Infinitely great as God is, he regards even the lowest and most inconsiderable part of his creation; but the humble and afflicted man attracts his notice particularly.
But the proud he knoweth afar off. ] He beholds them at a distance, and has them in utter derision.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-8 - Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humble sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to reviv us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles. And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness. If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we ma take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer. Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in u both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of ever true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created ane in Christ Jesus unto good works _________________________________________________
