Psalms 20:7
7. remember—or cause to remember, mention thankfully (1Sa 17:45; Ps 33:16).
Isaiah 36:9
9. captain—a governor under a satrap; even he commands more horsemen than this.
Daniel 9:13
13. yet made we not our prayer before—literally, "soothed not the face of." Not even our chastisement has taught us penitence (Isa 9:13; Jer 5:3; Ho 7:10). Diseased, we spurn the healing medicine.
that we might turn, &c.—Prayer can only be accepted when joined with the desire to turn from sin to God (Ps 66:18; Pr 28:9). understand thy truth—"attentively regard Thy faithfulness" in fulfilling Thy promises, and also Thy threats [CALVIN]. Thy law (Da 8:12), [MAURER].
