Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 7:20

20 And what can David say more unto thee ? for thou LORD God, knowest thy servant .

Either, First, In way of gratitude, and praise to thee, words cannot express my obligations to thee, nor my sense of these obligations. Or rather, Secondly, In way of prayer, as appears by the parallel place, 1 Chron. 17. 17. What can I ask or desire of thee more than thou hast freely done?

Thou knowest, Either, First, My deep sense of thy favours, and my obligations to thee. Or rather, Secondly, My condition and necessities, what I do or may need hereafter; and as thou knowest this, so I doubt not thou wilst be ready to supply me accordingly. Compare Matth. 6. 8, 32.
