Vers. 116. Stablish me according to thy free promise, that I may live, and let me not be disappointed of mine hope.
Vers. 116. Stablish mee according to thy free promise, that I may liue, and let mee not bee disappointed of mine hope.
Here the man of God desireth, that the Lord would keep him safe and sure, and that he would confirm him and strengthen him in his word: where we see he prayeth for a thing mentioned before. Faith is not a sleeping thing, lying dead in us, but it is quick1 and is nourished by the word. For Gods children do not so believe, but that they are often troubled with unbelief: yea the Lord doth often suffer them to see their unbelief in themselves to strive against it.
