John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

The psalmist rehearses God's faithfulness to the fathers, then lodges a sharp complaint: He no longer goes forth with us as He once did. The structure is plain: mercies remembered, present affliction lamented, covenant loyalty maintained despite suffering, and a final prayer that God not forget the dishonor done to His worship.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

Thou art my King, O God, who else among the mighty deserves my homage? A word from Thee scatters all our foes; command deliverance and Thy persecuted people shall be free. Those who pray best know most certainly that the Lord is their God, and they should be foremost to plead for the whole tried family of the faithful.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Some observe that most of the psalms that are entitled Maschil - psalms of instruction, are sorrowful psalms; for afflictions give instructions, and sorrow of spirit opens the ear to them. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest and teachest. In these verses the church, though now trampled upon, calls to remembrance the days of her triumph, of her triumph in God and over her enemies.
