Save us, O Lord our God
Here the psalmist represents the people in captivity, and
represents them as praying for deliverance; as well knowing that
none but God could save them: and a prayer of this nature, with
respect to spiritual salvation, supposes danger, and a sense of
it; that they are not able to save themselves, nor any creature
able to save them; only the Lord, who is both willing and able;
and of this kind is the prayer of faith.
And gather us from among the Heathen;
in Babylon, and other countries; (See Gill on Psalms
106:1).
To give thanks unto thy holy name;
bring us out of captivity to our own land, to Jerusalem, to the
temple there to give thanks to thy holy name for the merciful
deliverance of us; see ( Psalms 122:4
) .
And to triumph in thy praise;
in thy salvation, in thy wondrous works, worthy of praise; or
while praising thee: the word signifies to glory therein; and
such who are sensible of the mercies they receive from the Lord
will make their boast of him and them, and glory; see ( Psalms
34:1-3 ) .
