Verse 1,2. --

--Matthew Henry.

Verse 1,2,8. -- These three things will I bear on my heart, O Lord: "The Lord was on our side," this for the past: "The snare is broken," for the present; "Our help is in the name of the Lord," this for the future. I will not and I cannot be fainthearted, whether in my contest with Satan, in my intercourse with the world, or in the upheavings of my wicked heart, so long as I hold this "threefold cord" in my hand, or rather, am held by it. --Alfred Edersheim.
