He looks forward with comfort, in hopes, 1. That others would go on to praise God like him, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.138.4,Ps.138.5" href="/passage/?search=Ps.138.4,Ps.138.5"><span class="bibleref" title="Ps.138.4">Ps. 138:4</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Ps.138.5">5</span></a>. 2. That God would go on to do good to him, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.138.6-Ps.138.8" href="/passage/?search=Ps.138.6-Ps.138.8">Ps. 138:6-8</a>. In singing this psalm we must in like manner devote ourselves to Gods praise and glory and repose ourselves in his power and goodness.</p>
