That he--rather, "he who," &c. blesseth, &c.-- (Psa 72:17; Jer 4:2). God of truth--very God, as opposed to false gods; Hebrew, Amen: the very name of Messiah (Co2 1:20; Rev 3:14), faithful to His promises (Joh 1:17; Joh 6:32). Real, substantial, spiritual, eternal, as opposed to the shadowy types of the law. sweareth, &c.--God alone shall be appealed to as God (Isa 19:18; Deu 6:13; Psa 63:11). troubles--that is, sins, provocations [LOWTH].
