Commentary

bear--patiently. the indignation of the Lord--His punishment inflicted on me (Lam 3:39). The true penitent "accepts the punishment of his iniquity" (Lev 26:41, Lev 26:43); they who murmur against God, do not yet know their guilt (Job 40:4-5). execute judgment for me--against my foe. God's people plead guilty before God; but, in respect to their human foes, they are innocent and undeserving of their foes' injuries. bring me forth to the light--to the temporal and spiritual redemption. I shall behold his righteousness--His gracious faithfulness to His promises (Psa 103:17).
