EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS
Verse 3. Lifter up of my head. God will have the body partake with the soul -- as in matters of grief, so in matters of joy; the lantern shines in the light of the candle within. Richard Sibbs, 1639.
There is a lifting up of the head by elevating to office, as with Pharaoh's butler; this we trace to the divine appointment. There is a lifting up in honour after shame, in health after sickness, in gladness after sorrow, in restoration after a fall, in victory after a temporary defeat; in all these respects the Lord is the lifter up of our head. C.H.S.
HINTS FOR PASTORS AND LAYPERSONS
