Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“Hear my voice, according unto thy loving-kindness - According to thy mercy; thy goodness. Let that be the rule in answering me; not my deserts, or even the fervour of my prayers. We can desire no better rule in answer to our prayers. O Lord, quicken me - Give me life; cause me truly to live. See the notes at Psalms 119:40. According to thy judgment - Thy law as a rule of judgment; thy revealed truth, with all its gracious promises. return to 'Top of Page'”
