“Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.”
The request to show marvelous lovingkindness by saving those who take refuge invokes God's characteristic covenant love as ground for deliverance. The marvelous quality of lovingkindness suggests that divine care exceeds normal expectation and operates through surprising grace. The mention of those who take refuge establishes that the speaker claims the status of one seeking asylum in God. This verse appeals to God's established character as justification for expected deliverance.
