Most commentators see this verse not as a boast of self-sufficiency, but as a humble prayer. Even when we are committed to following God's ways, we are still weak and prone to stumble. Scholars like Spurgeon and Henry emphasize that this is a plea for God's sustaining grace, asking Him to 'hold me up' so that we can persevere. It teaches that daily dependence on God's strength is essential for every believer.
