On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let me have that salvation not only which he is the author of, but which consists in his favour; and let me know my interest in it; let me have the comfortable assurance of it in my own breast." If God, by his Spirit, witness to our spirits that he is our salvation, we have enough, we need desire no more to make us happy; and this is a powerful support when men persecute us.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

fight against--literally, "devour my devourers." stop the way against--literally, "shut up" (the way), to meet or oppose, &c. I . . . thy salvation--who saves thee.
