Commentary
praise . . . extol . . . honour--He heaps word on word, as if he cannot say enough in praise of God. all whose works . . . truth . . . judgment--that is, are true and just (Rev 15:3; Rev 16:7). God has not dealt unjustly or too severely with me; whatever I have suffered, I deserved it all. It is a mark of true contrition to condemn one's self, and justify God (Psa 51:4). those that walk in pride . . . abase--exemplified in me. He condemns himself before the whole world, in order to glorify God. Next: Daniel Chapter 5
