Cedar. Such were esteemed the most magnificent, ver. 6. See 2 Kings vii.
Verse 9
A place permanent and secure, while I have had no fixed abode. (Calmet) --- No more, for a long time: and unless they provoke me by their crimes, as they did afterwards, and were exposed to more severe chastisements. Constant rest is not always expedient. (Tirinus)
Verse 11
Seed, even till Christ shall be born of the Blessed Virgin, of the family of David.

Thee. The posterity of Saul lost the throne. (Haydock) --- If Solomon was reprobated, his children were permitted to reign. It is also presumed that he did penance; though this is not certain.
Verse 17
Men. Who was ever more favoured by God than David? Hebrew, "Thou hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree." (Protestants) (Haydock)

Known him. Treating him with love and tenderness, as a friend. How can David sufficiently testify his gratitude?

Himself. Hebrew adds, "and to make thee a name."
