From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And as for me -literally, “and I;” as if there were some verb understood. The reference is turned on himself; on all that was suggested by this train of remark as bearing on himself. The result of the whole was a firm assurance that God would sustain him, and that he would be established before God forever. The train of thought is this: “And I... thou upholdest me.” Perhaps the course of expression, if it had not been suddenly changed, would have been, “And I am sustained or held up.” The thought, however, turns rather on God than on himself, and instead of carrying out the reference to himself so prominently, he turns to God as the source from where all this was derived.
