Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“Quicken me, O Lord - Give me life. Compare the notes at Ephesians 2:1. Make me equal to my circumstances, for I am ready to sink and to yield. For thy name’s sake - For thine honor. Compare the notes at Daniel 9:17-18. It is in thy cause. Thou wilt thus show thy power, thy faithfulness, thy goodness. Thou wilt thus get honor to thyself. This is the highest motive which can influence us - that God may be glorified. For thy righteousness’ sake - Thy justice; thy truth; thy faithfulness in performing thy promises and pledges. Bring my soul out of trouble - Out of this trouble and distress. See the notes at Psalms 25:17. return to 'Top of Page'”
