4. Thus will I bless thee while I live. As I now
bless thee, so will I ever do; or rather, so as thou shalt reveal thy
lovingkindness to me, I will in return continue to extol thee. If we see no
cause to rejoice in our estate, we shall always have reason for rejoicing in
the Lord. If none others bless God, yet his people will; his very nature, as
being the infinitely good God, is a sufficient argument for our praising him as
long as we exist. I will lift up my hands in thy name. For worship the
hands were uplifted, as also in joy, in thanksgiving, in labor, in confidence;
in all these senses we would lift up our hands in Jehovah’s name alone. No
hands need hang down when God draws near in love. The name of Jesus has often
made lame men leap and sad men clap their hands for joy.
