John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

This prayer belongs to the faithful in Babylon's captivity, when deliverance drew near. They lament their afflictions, plead for the temple's restoration, and recall God's promises to steady their hope. The prophet shaped it as a form of prayer when the seventy years were nearly finished and comfort was about to break forth.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord. Mercy within the church is soon perceived by those without. When a candle is lit in the house, it shines through the window. When Zion rejoices in her God, the heathen been to reverence his name, for they hear of the wonders of his power, and are impressed thereby. And all the kings of the earth thy glory.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

My days vanish like a shadow, but You sit enthroned forever, Your remembrance burning through all generations. A man who loves God better than himself takes comfort here: though I die and my name sink into dust, Your church's interests are safe in hands that never fail, and deliverance for Zion must come.
