EXPLANATION

Verse 10. My. Hebrew “his,” which seems incorrect. Chal. ( Calmet.) and S. Jerom agree with the Vulg. Houbigant would also substitute, “My strength, I will sing to thee,” which affords a better sense, verse 17. Bert.—Yet our version is very plain; I will make all my powers serve thee, and acknowledge that all comes from thee. Bible.—Such was the admirable humility of Nehemias, who never assumed any glory to himself. Calmet.—David and all just men entertain the same sentiments. We are here assured ( Bible.) that the Church and some virtuous souls will persevere, by God’s grace. Worthington.
