Vers. 63. I am companion of all them that fear thee, and keep thy precepts.
Vers. 63. I am companion of all them that feare thee, and keepe thy precepts.
TO receive help from them, and to be helpful unto them: so Psalm 16. Then if we will make God our portion, we will make much of good men: for if David did this, how much more ought we? It is an argument of pride to despise the company of others. If thou want knowledge, it is to make thee seek it of them that have it: if thou have more than others, then oughtest thou to bestow it upon others: so that thou oughtest not, either for the greatness of thy knowledge, or for the want of knowledge, to withdraw thy self from the company of them that fear the Lord.
