For the Lord shall be thy confidence,…. The object of it, in whom thou shall put thy confidence, and be safe and secure from all fear and danger: or “the Lord shall be in thy confidence” g; shall support thee in it, and maintain that, so that thou shalt not cast it away; the word used has sometimes the notion off oily in it, and Jarchi, from the Jerusalem Talmud, produces a sense agreeable to it;
“the Lord shall be in things in which thou art foolish;”
which, how absurd it may seem to be, will admit of a good interpretation; that the Lord will be with Wisdom’s followers in things which may seem foolishness to the world; as Christ, the things of Christ, and the things of the Spirit of Christ, the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, are. The Targum is,
“the Lord shall be thine help,”
in all times of distress, difficulty, and danger;
and shall keep thy foot from being taken; in the snares of sin, temptation, and mischief; in those which Satan and the world lay for God’s people; from these the Lord preserves them; wherefore happy are those that have an interest in Christ, who find and enjoy him.

Psa 77:7 And Rabbi Solomon saith, that he had found in the Jerusalem Targum this text, thus censured and expounded, The Lord shall be with thee in thy folly; that is, he shall turn to thy good, even thine inconsiderate and rash enterprizes, if thou addict thyself to the study of wisdom.
And shall keep thy foot from being taken.
