Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 56:4

4. In God I will praise his word , in God I have put my trust, I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

The Sence is, Either, 1. I will praise or boast in the Lords word, or the Lord for his Word. Or, 2. With or by the Lord (i. e. By his Favour or Help) I will praise his Word. Or rather, 3. This, as I humbly conceive: There are many things to be praised and celebrated in God, his Power, and Wisdom, &c. but amongst all and above all, I shall at this time praise him for his Word, which he hath magnified above all his N[illegible: 1+ letters]ne, as is said, Psal. 138. 2. even for his Promises of Protection and Deliverance, made to his People in all their Exegencies, and particularly and especially, for that Promise of the Kingdom made to me; for which I will now Praise him, because I am as sure of its Accomplishment, as if I had it already in mine Hand.

Infirm and mortal Men, altogether unable to oppose thy infinite Majesty, called Flesh by way of Contempt, as Psal. 78. 39. Isa. 31. 3. Ier. 17. 5.
