On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

We should never allow ourselves to make any complaints but what are fit to be offered up to God and what drive us to our knees. What his petitions are: Consider my case, hear my complaints, and enlighten my eyes, that is, (1.) "Strengthen my faith;" for faith is the eye of the soul, with which it sees above, and sees through, the things of sense.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

rejoice--literally, "shout as in triumph." I am moved--cast down from a firm position (Ps 10:6). Trust is followed by rejoicing in the deliverance which God effects, and, instead of his enemy, he can lift the song of triumph.
