I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Ver. 2. I will worship toward thy holy temple] Wheresoever I am the face of my soul shall turn, like the needle of a dial, by sacred instinct, towards thee, in the ark of thy presence, in the Son of thy love (Abbot).

For thy lovingkindness and for thy truth] For thy grace and truth, which come by Jesus Christ: the ark and mercy seat were never sundered. God's lovingkindness in Christ moved him to promise, his truth binds him to perform, and hence our happiness.

For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name] Or, Thou hast magnified thy name in all thy words. Or, Thou hast magnified above all things thy name by thy word; that is, Thou hast got thee a very great name, by fulfilling thy promises, and by setting on thy word with power.
