Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 8. The Lord will command ] Every day the Lord will give an especial commission to his loving-kindness to visit me. During the night I shall sing of his mercy and goodness; and alternately mingle my singing with prayer for a continuance of his mercy, and for power to make the best use of these visitations.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - The way to forget our miseries, is to remember the God of our mercies David saw troubles coming from God's wrath, and that discouraged him But if one trouble follow hard after another, if all seem to combin for our ruin, let us remember they are all appointed and overruled by the Lord. David regards the Divine favour as the fountain of all the good he looked for. In the Saviour's name let us hope and pray. On word from him will calm every storm, and turn midnight darkness int the light of noon, the bitterest complaints into joyful praises. Ou believing expectation of mercy must quicken our prayers for it. A length, is faith came off conqueror, by encouraging him to trust in the name of the Lord, and to stay himself upon his God. He adds, And m God; this thought enabled him to triumph over all his griefs and fears Let us never think that the God of our life, and the Rock of ou salvation, has forgotten us, if we have made his mercy, truth, an power, our refuge. Thus the psalmist strove against his despondency: a last his faith and hope obtained the victory. Let us learn to check all unbelieving doubts and fears. Apply the promise first to ourselves, an then plead it to God _________________________________________________
