Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Of the prospect which the Redeemer had of his own resurrection and the glory that should follow, which carried him cheerfully through his undertaking,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

By his glory is meant his tongue, as appears, Acts ii. For our tongue is our glory, and never more so than when it is employed in glorifying God. Now there were three things which bore him up and carried him on thus cheerfully:-- [1.] The respect he had to his Father's will and glory in what he did: I have set the Lord always before me.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Hitherto David seems to have spoken with respect to himself, but now he is transported by the spirit of prophecy, and carried above himself, to speak as a type of Christ, in whom this and the following verses were truly accomplished. Christ as man did always set his father's will and glory before him.

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