Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 42. - So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me (comp. ver. 22). If God's favor were manifestly shown him, his enemies would be sufficiently answered. For I trust in thy Word. This is what he looks for, since he has a full trust in God's promises to his servants.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersVAU.(42) So shall I have.--Better literally, as the LXX. and Vulg., and I shall answer my reviler a word, for I trust in Thy word, i.e., when reproached it will be enough to pronounce God's promise. The repetition of davar here and in Psalm 119:43 makes for this explanation in preference to that of the margin.
