3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Commentary

These verses look forward to the mercies that were yet wanted. Those that had come out of captivity were still in distress, even in their own land (Neh 1:3), and many yet remained in Babylon; and therefore they rejoiced with trembling, and bore upon their hearts the grievances that were yet to be redressed.

— Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on verses 4-6
