Thy throne from generation to generation.

20

21

22

Verse 21. So shall we return-For 21w, thirty-seven, perhaps forty-three, MSS. and four editions read, with the Masora, naw).

Verse 22. For surely-Six Mss. omit . ought certainly to be rendered as causal; God's having rejected his people, and expressed great indignation against them, being the cause and ground of the preceding application, in which they pray to be restored to his favour, and the enjoyment of their ancient privileges.
