Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst east us off? - See the notes at Psalms 60:1. The meaning is, that although God had seemed to reject and forsake them, they had no other resource, and the appeal might be still made to him. The psalmist hoped that he would again be favorable to his people, and would not forsake them altogether. It is still true that although God may seem to forsake us, that although he may leave us for a time to discouragement and darkness, yet we have no other resource but himself; it is still true that we may hope in his mercy, and plead for his return. And thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? - Who didst suffer us to be defeated. See the notes at Psalms 60:2-3. return to 'Top of Page'
