Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

There is enough in bank and enough in hand. (2.) This goodness is laid up in his promise for all that fear God, to whom assurance is given that they shall want no good thing. But it is wrought, in the actual performance of the promise, for those that trust in him--that by faith take hold of the promise, put it in suit, and draw out to themselves the benefit and comfort of it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Faith and prayer must go together. He that believes, let his pray-- I believe, therefore I have spoken: and he that prays, let him believe, for the prayer of faith is the prevailing prayer. David, in distress, is very earnest with God in prayer for succour and relief.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He has many ways of sheltering them. When Baruch and Jeremiah were sought for the Lord hid them, Jer. xxxvi. God's grace shall keep them safe from the evil of the judgments that are abroad; to them they have no sting; and they shall hidden in the day of the Lord's anger, for there is no anger at them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

the secret of thy presence--or, covering of Thy countenance; the protection He thus affords; compare Ps 27:5 for a similar figure; "dwelling" used there for "presence" here. The idea of security further presented by the figure of a tent and a fortified city [Ps 31:21].

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

As if they were in thy presence chamber, where thine own eye and hand girdeth them, from all the assaults of their enemies; called his secret, partly, because the greatest part of the world are strangers to God and his presence: and partly, because it is a safe and secure place, such as secret and unknown places are.
