Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 4. Let me eat not of their dainties. ] This may refer either to eating things forbidden by the law; or to the partaking in banquets or feasts in honour of idols.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - Make haste unto me. Those that know how to value God's graciou presence, will be the more fervent in their prayers. When presented through the sacrifice and intercession of the Saviour, they will be a acceptable to God as the daily sacrifices and burnings of incense wer of old. Prayer is a spiritual sacrifice, it is the offering up the sou and its best affections. Good men know the evil of tongue sins. When enemies are provoking, we are in danger of speaking unadvisedly. Whil we live in an evil world, and have such evil hearts, we have need to pray that we may neither be drawn nor driven to do any thing sinful Sinners pretend to find dainties in sin; but those that consider ho soon sin will turn into bitterness, will dread such dainties, and pra to God to take them out of their sight, and by his grace to turn their hearts against them. Good men pray against the sweets of sin.
