Commentary on Psalms 142:7

Theological / Devotional

Compass. Heb. kathar. The form here found means “to congregate around a person.” Evidently those who were true followers of God were glad when the psalmist was delivered, and shared with him in thanksgiving.

Deal bountifully. Though the present may be difficult and the future foreboding, the psalmist looks forward with confidence to the time of his deliverance.
