Here is another argument o• Davids faith, & constancy, nothing could make him forsake Gods word. He was like a bladder bottle in the smoke, verse 83. Pits were digged for him in which he was near fallen, he was in a manner consumed upon and from the earth, yet nothing can make him to forgo his hold, abandon his general, run from his colours, and forsake that profession which he had made of Piety. Thus the malice of the wicked will never have an end, the state of Gods children is oftentimes desperate, and so long as the ungodly remain upon earth, the godly must think by them here to be troubled. In the world saith Christ ye should have trouble, but in me peace, be of good comfort, I have overcome the world. John: 16.
