“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”
King James Version (KJV)
3:16 When I heard - What dreadful desolations God threatened against Israel. My heart trembled - Another effect of surprising fears and astonishment. Rottenness - A decay of all my strength. That I might rest - These fears made me betake myself to God, that I might rest in him. He - The king of Babylon. The people - The Jews.
3:17 The labour - The labour bestowed upon the olive. Yield no meat - Corn. Flock - Of sheep.
3:19 Like hinds feet - That I may escape to God my refuge. He will make me - To conquer and triumph.
