Here is, 1. The confidence of this good man in the hope of God's
salvation: "I have hoped in thy word; and I have not found it in vain
to do so; it has not failed me, nor have I been disappointed in my
expectations from it. It is a hope that maketh not ashamed; but is
present satisfaction, and fruition at last." 2. The concurrence of
other good men with him in the joy of that salvation: "Those that fear
thee will be glad when they see me relieved by my hope in thy word and
delivered according to my hope." The comforts which some of God's
children have in God, and the favours they have received from him,
should be matter of joy to others of them. Paul often expressed the
hope that for God's grace to him thanks would be rendered by many, 2
Cor. i. 11; iv. 15. Or it may be taken more generally; good people are
glad to see one another; they are especially pleased with those who are
eminent for their hope in God's word.
