Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. When mine enemies are turned back ] It is a sure sign of a nearly approaching complete conquest over sin, when, by resistance to its influences, it begins to lose its power. That is the time to follow on to know the Lord.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - If we would praise God acceptably, we must praise him in sincerity with our whole heart. When we give thanks for some one particula mercy, we should remember former mercies. Our joy must not be in the gift, so much as in the Giver. The triumphs of the Redeemer ought to be the triumphs of the redeemed. The almighty power of God is that whic the strongest and stoutest of his enemies are no way able to stan before. We are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth, an that with him there is no unrighteousness. His people may, by faith flee to him as their Refuge, and may depend on his power and promis for their safety, so that no real hurt shall be done to them. Those wh know him to be a God of truth and faithfulness, will rejoice in his word of promise, and rest upon that. Those who know him to be a everlasting Father, will trust him with their souls as their main care and trust in him at all times, even to the end; and by constant car seek to approve themselves to him in the whole course of their lives Who is there that would not seek him, who never hath forsaken thos that seek Him?
