7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
7 Because you've always stood up for me, I'm free to run and play.
7 Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
7 Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 63:7
Commentary on Psalm 63:7-11
(Read Psalm 63:7-11)
True Christians can, in some measure, and at some times, make use of the strong language of David, but too commonly our souls cleave to the dust. Having committed ourselves to God, we must be easy and pleased, and quiet from the fear of evil. Those that follow hard after God, would soon fail, if God's right hand did not uphold them. It is he that strengthens us and comforts us. The psalmist doubts not but that though now sowing in tears, he should reap in joy. Messiah the Prince shall rejoice in God; he is already entered into the joy set before him, and his glory will be completed at his second coming. Blessed Lord, let our desire towards thee increase every hour; let our love be always upon thee; let all our enjoyment be in thee, and all our satisfaction from thee. Be thou all in all to us while we remain in the present wilderness state, and bring us home to the everlasting enjoyment of thee for ever.
