On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Those must needs be well kept that have the Lord for their keeper. If, by affliction, they be made his prisoners, yet still he is their keeper. The same that is the protector of the church in general is engaged for the preservation of every particular believer, the same wisdom, the same power, the same promises.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

We must fetch in help from God, by faith in his promises, and a due regard to all his institutions: " I will lift up my eyes to the hills " (probably he meant the hills on which the temple was built, Mount Moriah, and the holy hill of Zion, where the ark of the covenant, the oracle, and the altars were);

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

God will provide that his people shall not be tempted above what they are able, shall not fall into sin, though they may be very near it ( Ps. lxxiii. 2, 23 ), shall not fall into trouble, though there be many endeavouring to undermine them by fraud or over throw them by force. He will keep them from being frightened, as we are when we slip or stumble and are ready to fall.
