Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 142:7. That I may praise thy name:

As soon as you are set at liberty, you ought at once to let your glad heart magnify the God who has broken your bonds, and brought you out of prison.

Psalms 142:7. The righteous shall compass me about;

This is a beautiful idea, it seems to imply that they would be so astonished to find him at liberty that they would all come round him to hear his story, they would be so glad to see the mourner rejoicing that they would all begin to inquire what God had done for his soul.

Psalms 142:7. For thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

In the 13th Psalm, David said, "I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me;" but here he looks into the future, and sings, "Thou shalt deal bountifully with me."
