EXPLANATION

Verse 8. People; (hoz lamu) instead of which the Hebrew has lamo, “their strength;” though the people of God had not been mentioned. S. Jerom translates, “the Lord is my strength.” Houbigant shews that the Vulg. is most accurate. Bert.—Prot. marg. “his strength.”—Salvation. Lit. “salvations,” as he had many times protected David, as well as ( Bible.) the priests and prophets, and all the chosen people. 1 Peter 2:9. Calmet.—God causeth the good endeavours of the king for his subjects to prosper. Worthington.
