Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 56:4

_ _ in God ... his word — By His grace or aid (Psalms 60:12; Psalms 108:13), or, “I will boast in God as to His word”; in either case His word is the special matter and cause of praise.

_ _ flesh — for mankind (Psalms 65:2; Isaiah 31:3), intimating frailty.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 56:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 56:4

Will praise — I will praise the Lord for his word, for his promises of protection and deliverance, made to his people. Flesh — Infirm and mortal men, called flesh by way of contempt, as Psalms 78:39; Isaiah 31:3.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 56:4

In God I will praise his (c) word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

(c) He stays his conscience on God's promise though he sees no present help.
