But mine own vineyard—The cultivation of the fruits of the Spirit.
Have I not kept—I have been too busy with “church work,” to look after my own best spiritual interests.
1:7. Tell me—The Bride continues.
O Thou—Christ.
Whom my soul loveth—Whom having not seen, we love.
Where Thou feedest—“Wheresoever the carcase is there will the eagles be gathered together.”
Where thou—The Good Shepherd.
Makest Thy flock—The Flock of God.
To rest—My people have forgotten their resting-place.
At noon—Where the grass is long and sweet, and where there are opportunities to draw specially near to the Shepherd. “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.”
