John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

David does not simply declare God's mercy in hindsight; he fortifies himself against doubt by rehearsing what he knows God to be. The saints must wrestle with themselves, driving back the flesh's doubts, so they can pray with speed and cheer. This is how a man recovers from tempest and shouts triumph.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

Wait at His door with prayer, at His foot with humility, at His table with service, at His window with expectancy. Earthly patrons give the cold shoulder after long waiting; your Patron is in the skies. I have found it so sweet, so reviving, so profitable to draw near to God that I myself am bound to say: Wait on the Lord.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

David does not presume to enter the King's presence uncalled; he fastens his thoughts on God's invitation to the throne of grace and reverently touches the golden scepter held out to him. True worship is seeking the face of God for Himself alone, making His favor our chief good, nothing less will satisfy.
