John Trapp Complete Commentary

Psalms 56:10

In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

Ver. 10. In God will I praise his word] The Jewish doctors observe that Elohim, God, is a name importing justice; and that Jehovah, Lord, holdeth out mercy, according to that, Exodus 34:6, Jehovah, Jehovah merciful, gracious, &c. But if God should seem neither to show his mercy upon us nor his justice upon our enemies, we must nevertheless adhere to his word or promise, and patiently wait his performance; which will be as sure as he is God and Lord. See Trapp on " Psa 56:4 "
