On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

When we look to the world we are darkened, we are perplexed, and at a loss; but, when we look to God, from him we have the light both of direction and joy, and our way is made both plain and pleasant.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
