Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 143:11

"Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name`s sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble." — Psalms 143:11 (ASV)

Quicken me, O Lord - Give me life. Compare the notes at (Ephesians 2:1). Make me equal to my circumstances, for I am ready to sink and to yield.

For thy name’s sake - For your honor. Compare the notes at (Daniel 9:17–18). It is in your cause. You will thus show your power, your faithfulness, your goodness. You will thus get honor to yourself. This is the highest motive which can influence us - that God may be glorified.

For thy righteousness’ sake - Your justice; your truth; your faithfulness in performing your promises and pledges.

Bring my soul out of trouble - Out of this trouble and distress. See the notes at (Psalms 25:17).
