2. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord. Boasting is a very natural propensity, and if it were used as in this
case, the more it were indulged the better. The exultation of this verse is no
mere tongue bragging; the soul is in it, the boasting is meant and felt
before it is expressed. What scope there is for holy boasting in Jehovah! His
person, attributes, covenant, promises, works, and a thousand things besides,
are all incomparable. The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. They
are usually grieved to hear boastings; they turn aside from vauntings and lofty
speeches, but boasting in the Lord is quite another matter; by this the most
lowly are consoled and encouraged.
