He had always been very safe under the Divine protection. Nothing can fix a gulf between the communications of God's grace towards us, and the working of his grace in us between his favour and our faith. David had always found God ready to answer his prayers. If, in the worst of times, God's people can lift up their heads with joy, knowing that all shall work for good to them, they will own God as giving them both cause and hearts to rejoice.Ĥ-8 Care and grief do us good, when they engage us to pray to God, as in earnest. Honour those whom God owns for his, have true honour put upon them. Safety a shield for me which denotes the advantage of that protection. See what God is to his people, what he will be, what they have found him, what David found in him. A child of God startles at the very thought of despairing of help in God. (4-8)ġ-3 An active believer, the more he is beaten off from God, either by the rebukes of providence, or the reproaches of enemies, the faster hold he will take, and the closer will he cleave to him. (1-3) He triumphs over his fears, and gives God the glory, and takes to himself the comfort. David complains to God of his enemies, and confides in God.
