On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

For those who come into God's righteousness shall soon see an end of their poverty and sorrow, and his salvation shall set them up on high, which is the thing that David here prays for, Isa. lxi. This may be applied to Christ. He was, in his humiliation, poor and sorrowful, a man of sorrows, and that had not where to lay his head.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Concludes with praise and thanksgiving, ver. 30-36. In all this David was a type of Christ, and several passages of this psalm are applied to him in the New Testament. So that, like the 22nd psalm, it begins with the humiliation, and ends with the exaltation of Christ.

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

Spiritual are better than mere material offerings (Ps 40:6; 50:8); hence a promise of the former, and rather contemptuous terms are used of the latter. "Humble" and poor, as in Ps 69:29. your heart, &c.--address to such (compare Ps 22:26).
