In this Spiritual Temple, first there is the Porch; which we may conceive to be the Mouth. Therefore David prays to have a Watch set at the door of his lips; to ward the gate of Gods Temple. This may seem to be one reason of saluting in former times by a kiss; they did kiss the gate of Gods Temple. Here the Fear of God is the Porter; who is both ready to let in his friends, and resolute to keep out his enemies. Let him specially watch for two sorts of foes, the one, a traitor that goes out, evil speaking: the other, a thief that steals in, too much drinking.
