A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Jacob--By "Jacob," we may understand God's people (compare Isa 43:22; Isa 44:2, &c.), corresponding to "the generation," as if he had said, "those who seek Thy face are Thy chosen people."

2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] that made [06213] thee, and formed [03335] thee from the womb [0990], which will help [05826] thee; Fear [03372] not, O Jacob [03290], my servant [05650]; and thou, Jesurun [03484], whom I have chosen [0977].
22 But thou hast not called [07121] upon me, O Jacob [03290]; but thou hast been weary [03021] of me, O Israel [03478].
6 Not [3756] as [3634] though [1161] [3754] the word [3056] of God [2316] hath taken none effect [1601]. For [1063] they are not [3756] all [3956] [1537] Israel [2474], which [3588] [3778] are of Israel [2474]:
7 Neither [3761], because [3754] they are [1526] the seed [4690] of Abraham [11], are they all [3956] children [5043]: but [235], In [1722] Isaac [2464] shall [2564] thy [4671] seed [4690] be called [2564].
8 That is [5123], They which are the children [5043] of the flesh [4561], these [5023] are not [3756] the children [5043] of God [2316]: but [235] the children [5043] of the promise [1860] are counted [3049] for [1519] the seed [4690].
7 Ask [154], and [2532] it shall be given [1325] you [5213]; seek [2212], and [2532] ye shall find [2147]; knock [2925], and [2532] it shall be opened [455] unto you [5213]:
33 But [1161] seek ye [2212] first [4412] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] his [846] righteousness [1343]; and [2532] all [3956] these things [5023] shall be added [4369] unto you [5213].
17 I love [0157] them that love [0157] me; and those that seek me early [07836] shall find [04672] me.
1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732], when he was in the wilderness [04057] of Judah [03063]. O God [0430], thou art my God [0410]; early will I seek [07836] thee: my soul [05315] thirsteth [06770] for thee, my flesh [01320] longeth [03642] for thee in a dry [06723] and thirsty [05889] land [0776], where no [01097] water [04325] is;
2 The LORD [03068] looked down [08259] from heaven [08064] upon the children [01121] of men [0120], to see [07200] if there [03426] were any that did understand [07919], and seek [01875] God [0430].
10 And they that know [03045] thy name [08034] will put their trust [0982] in thee: for thou, LORD [03068], hast not forsaken [05800] them that seek [01875] thee.
