On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Be still - Compose your tumultuous minds. Offer - Unto God, that he may be reconciled to you. Righteousness - Righteous sacrifices; which requires that the persons offering them be righteous and do righteous things, and offer them with an honest mind, with faith and true repentance.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? 3 But know that the L ORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the L ORD will hear when I call unto him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It is said of the husbandman that, having cast his seed into the ground, he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how, Mark iv. So a good man, having by faith and prayer cast his care upon God, sleeps and rests night and day, and is very easy, leaving it to his God to perform all things for him and prepared to welcome his holy will.
