Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 7. My heart is fixed ] My heart is prepared to do and suffer thy will. It is fixed-it has made the firmest purpose through his strength by which I can do all things.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-11 - By lively faith, David's prayers and complaints are at once turned int praises. His heart is fixed; it is prepared for every event, being stayed upon God. If by the grace of God we are brought into this even composed frame of mind, we have great reason to be thankful. Nothing is done to purpose, in religion, unless it is done with the heart. The heart must be fixed for the duty, put in frame for it; fixed in the duty by close attention. Our tongue is our glory, and never more s than when praising God; dull and sleepy devotions will never be acceptable to God. Let us awake early in the morning, to begin the da with God; early in the beginning of a mercy. When God comes toward u with his favours, let us go forth to meet him with our praises. Davi desired to bring others to join in praising God; and in his psalms, he is still praising God among the people, singing to Him among the nations. Let us seek to have our hearts fixed to praise his boundles mercy and unfailing faithfulness; and to glorify him with body, soul and spirit, which are his. Let us earnestly pray that the blessings of the gospel may be sent through every land _________________________________________________
