11. In God have I put my trust. This and
the former verse are evidently the chorus of the psalm. We cannot be too
careful of our faith, or see too sedulously that it is grounded on the Lord
alone. I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. Faith has banished
fear. He views his foes in their most forcible character, calling them not flesh,
but man, yet he dreads them not; though the whole race were his enemies
he would not be afraid now that his trust is stayed on God. He is not afraid of
what they threaten to do, for much of that they cannot do; and even what they
can do he defies with holy daring. He speaks for the future—I will not—for
he is sure that the security of the present will suffice for days to come.
