Psalms 39:12-13

_ _ Consonant with the tenor of the Psalm, he prays for God’s compassionate regard to him as a stranger here; and that, as such was the condition of his fathers, so, like them, he may be cheered instead of being bound under wrath and chastened in displeasure.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 39:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
