King James Translators' Notes

thou...: or, do not thou deliver

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

2. shall be blessed-literally, "led aright," or "safely," prospered (Ps 23:3).

upon the earth-or land of promise (Ps 25:13; 27:3-9, &c.).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

41:1-4 The people of God are not free from poverty, sickness, or outward affliction, but the Lord will consider their case, and send due supplies. From his Lord's example the believer learns to consider his poor and afflicted brethren. This branch of godliness is usually recompensed with temporal blessings. But nothing is so distressing to the contrite believer, as a fear or sense of the Divine displeasure, or of sin in his heart. Sin is the sickness of the soul; pardoning mercy heals it, renewing grace heals it, and for this spiritual healing we should be more earnest than for bodily health.


Psalm 27:12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.
Psalm 37:22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
Psalm 37:28 For the LORD loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off. (NASB ©1995)
