Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Psalms 60
heart is overwhelmed--literally, "covered over with darkness," or, "distress." to the rock-- (Psa 18:2; Psa 40:2). higher than I--which otherwise I cannot ascend.
shelter . . . and strong tower--repeat the same sentiment.
I will abide--So I desire to do (compare Psa 23:6). trust in the covert, &c.--make my refuge, in the shadow (compare Psa 17:8; Psa 36:7).
the heritage--or, part in the spiritual blessings of Israel (Psa 21:2-4). vows--implies prayers.
the king--himself and his royal line ending in Christ. Mercy and truth personified, as in Psa 40:11; Psa 57:3.
abide before God--literally, "sit as a king in God's presence," under His protection.
Thus for new blessings will new vows of praise ever be paid. Next: Psalms Chapter 62
