From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Quicken me, O Lord -Give me life. Compare the notes atEphesians 2:1. Make me equal to my circumstances, for I am ready to sink and to yield. For thy name’s sake -For thine honor. Compare the notes atDaniel 9:17-18. It is in thy cause. Thou wilt thus show thy power, thy faithfulness, thy goodness. Thou wilt thus get honor to thyself. This is the highest motive which can influence us - that God may be glorified. For thy righteousness’ sake -Thy justice; thy truth; thy faithfulness in performing thy promises and pledges. Bring my soul out of trouble -Out of this trouble and distress.
