Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive. Continuance in life is always regarded as a blessing in the Old Testament; it is only in the New that to "depart, and be with Christ," is pronounced "far better" (Philippians 1:23). And he shall be blessed upon the earth; i.e. his long life shall be a happy one. And thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies; rather, as in the margin, do not thou deliver him (comp. Psalm 27:12; Psalm 74:19). The psalmist changes from dogmatic assertion to prayer, not, however, intending to express any doubt that his prayer will be granted.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) And he shall be blessed.--Not as in margin Isaiah 9:16, and in Symmachus "called happy," but with deeper meaning, as in Proverbs 3:18. Another derivation is possible, giving the meaning, "he shall be led aright," i.e., shall have right moral guidance. The context, however, does not favour this.Upon the earth.--Rather, in the land, i.e., of Canaan.
