Psalms 122:2

Verse 2. Masters. Expecting liberty, or rather food; though it may also imply that they are ready to run at the first sign, which they observe with attention. Thus Menelaus had his eyes on Agamemnon. Homer. Calmet.—As servants, and particularly handmaids, are very attentive, and hope to receive sustenance, so we ought to pray with all earnestness to God for what is necessary. Worthington.—All must come from Him.—Until. Or “waiting for his having mercy on us.” We shall not cease to look up to Him afterwards. Bert.—“Take care not to turn thine eyes away from mine.” Terent. Adelph. ii. 1.
