Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me; i.e. will complete what he has begun for me - will not leave his work unfinished (comp. Psalm 57:2; Philippians 1:6). Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever. Does not suddenly break off and stop. Forsake not the works of thine own hands. This is probably more than a mere personal request. David sees in God's care for himself a portion of his great providential scheme for the redemption of the world.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Perfect that which concerneth me.--Or, as in the analogous phrase (Psalm 57:2), will complete for me--i.e., either "all my undertakings," or, as in Philippians 1:6, "what he has begun in and for me."Forsake not.--Better, the works of Thine hands; do not leave them unfinished. (See for the same verb Nehemiah 6:3; Proverbs 4:13 : "let her not go.")The special intention of the prayer depends on the origin of the psalm. If it arose out of the troubles of rebuilding Jerusalem and reconstituting the state, it is intelligible and expressive. Or the reference may be to all Jehovah's gracious intentions for Israel.
