| We need quickening grace (Psa 71:20; Psa 119:25) to persevere in Thy right worship (Gen 4:26; Rom 10:11). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
So will not we go back from thee - That is, if thou wilt thus interpose; if thou wilt deliver the nation; if thou wilt help him whom thou hast placed over it, giving him wisdom and valor, we will hereafter be obedient to thy law; we will not apostatize from thee.

Quicken us - literally, Give us life. See the notes at Eph 2:1. Restore life to us as a people; save us from ruin, and reanimate us with thy presence.
And we will call upon thy name - We will worship thee; we will be faithful in serving thee. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Go back - Revolt from thee to idolatry or wickedness. Quicken - Revive and restore us to our tranquility. |

So wilt not we go back from thee - We shall no more become idolaters: and it is allowed on all hands that the Jews were never guilty of idolatry after their return from the Babylonish captivity.
Quicken us - Make us alive, for we are nearly as good as dead.
We will call upon they name - We will invoke thee. Thou shalt be for ever the object of our adoration, and the center of all our hopes. |

25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
