Verse 125 I am thy servant: grant me therefore understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
Verse 125 I am thy seruant: grant me therefore vnderstanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
WE see the Prophet of God never calleth into question the promises of GOD, although they were long suspended, but rather his own incredulity and unbelief, because he either did not so execute justice & judgement, as he ought to have done; or else believed not so throughly the covenants of God, and therefore desireth he to be taught in the statutes of the Lord, that he may further believe his covenants. For albeit he had executed judgement and justice, yet he was oppressed; though he waited on Gods ⟨p. 510⟩promises, yet they were not fulfilled: therefore he might have shrinked, had not the Lord taught him his statutes to strengthen his obedience, and exercised him in his covenants to confirm his faith.
