(1, 2) He . . . I.--The especial difficulty of this psalm, its abrupt changes of person, meets us at the outset.

What is meant is that "loving faith on man's part shall be met by faithful love on God's part" (Kay). God will extend his "shadow" over the man who places himself under his protection. |
