Psalm 118:46-47; 91:2
I spoke of Thy testimonies before kings, and I was not ashamed: I meditated also on Thy commandments, which I loved exceedingly. Ps. It is good to give praise to the Lord; and to sing to Thy name, O Most High. Glory be to the Father.

Psalm 118
Verse 46. Of thy, (de, &c.) but the true reading is, in testimoniis, “conformably to,” &c. as in the Heb. Sept. and Vulg. H. Bert. — Ashamed. Thus many even of the female sex have professed their faith boldly, with S. Agnes, S. Catharine, S. Winefrid, &c. answering the reproachful objections that were put to them, as if it were dishonourable to be a Christian, Catholic or Papist. No. These are most glorious titles, importing the true service of Christ, in unity with the Catholic Church, and under the Vicar of Jesus Christ, the Pope. W. — But as Prot. mean an undue attachment to the Pope by the last title, we shew, that in that sense it is unjustly and illiberally applied to us, (H.) and no gentlemen or scholar would not make use of it. Nightingale. — See N.G.’s letters to J. Slack, Whitby, 1813. H. — Daniel spoke with great freedom to Nabuchodonosor, &c. c. ii. 27. and v. 17. and vi. 22.
Psalm 91
Verse 2. Praise. Lit. “to confess,” (H.) as we must be free from sin before we can worthily proclaim God’s praises. Euseb. S. Jer. — But here to confess means to praise, (C.) or give thanks. W.
