From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
*The end* — To which David was driven.
*Lead me* — Convey me into some high and secure fortress.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. /*Selah*/.
*I will* — I shall, I doubt not, be restored to the tabernacle, and worship thee there all my days.

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
*Heritage* — Thou hast granted me this singular mercy, to live in God's land, to enjoy his presence, and to worship in his tabernacle; which is the heritage that all that fear thee, prize and desire above all things.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
*Prolong* — The years of my life and reign. Thus he speaks because his kingdom was not like Saul's, but established to him and his heirs; and because Christ, his son and heir, should actually, and in his own person possess the kingdom for ever.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
*Abide* — In the throne.
*Before God* — Living and ruling as in God's presence, serving God and worshipping him in his tabernacle.
*Truth* — Thy truth in giving me those mercies which thou hast promised, and thy mercy in giving me such further blessings as I needs.
