Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 4. Thou art my king ] What thou wert to them, be to us. We believe in thee as they did; we have sinned and are in captivity, but we repent and turn unto thee; command, therefore, deliverances to Jacob, for we are the descendants of him in whose behalf thou hast wrought such wonders.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Former experiences of God's power and goodness are strong supports to faith, and powerful pleas in prayer under present calamities. The man victories Israel obtained, were not by their own strength or merit, but by God's favour and free grace. The less praise this allows us, the more comfort it affords, that we may see all as coming from the favou of God. He fought for Israel, else they had fought in vain. This i applicable to the planting of the Christian church in the world, whic was not by any human policy or power. Christ, by his Spirit, went fort conquering and to conquer; and he that planted a church for himself in the world, will support it by the same power and goodness. They truste and triumphed in and through him. Let him that glories, glory in the Lord. But if they have the comfort of his name, let them give unto his the glory due unto it.
