Psalms57:2

2. I will cry unto God most high: unto God that performeth all things for me .

Heb. that performeth (or perfecteth or finisheth, as this Word is rendred, Psal. 138. 8. (i. e.) Will certainly perform or finish) for or towards, or Concerning me. He doth not express what he performeth, or perfecteth, or fulfilleth, but leaveth it to be understood, as being easie to be understood; He performeth, or perfecteth, to wit, all that he hath promised, engageth himself to perform, what he hath begun to do, or what is yet to be performed; it being usual in the Hebrew Language to understand a Verbal Noun after the Verb. He implies that God i[illegible: 1+ letters] not like Men, who make large Promises, but either through Inability or Carelessness, or Unfaithfulness do not perform them, but will certainly be as good as his Word.
