The Lord […] […] […] […] […] that the Lord […] […] spec• of his being, his everlasting […], […] wh• sense notwithstanding be is said to live, and to • ly: 1but in respect of his works, his effects to David ward, in whose preservation he showeth that he […]? and saveth his and ruleth all things by his […] providence. Which meaning David openeth in that he adjoineth, and my blessed strength: calling God his strength, his fortress, his rock, his blessed strength and ⟨p. 5⟩fortress, his rock, his blessed strength and fortress, because his life, his safety, his welfare is maintained by the might and mercy of the living God. As in the beginning he testified also: The Lord is my rock, and my kfortress, and my deliverer, my God, my strength in whom I will trust, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my refuge. And this is the benefit of God unto David. The thankfulness of David unto God followeth: Therefore let the God of my salvation be exalted. Wherein, by the way, the cause of his thankfulness, to wit, the benefit, is repeated. For though in our tongue the name of salvation is by common use referred to the blissful state of life eternal in the kingdom of heaven, whereto the scripture phrase doth likewise oft refer it: yet is it amplified in the 1Prophets language here to bodily safety and temporal preservation of this present life. As 2salvations also are afterward mentioned, or (as our English translation interpreteth it) deliverances: & before, lhe set down the general proposition with the msame word, I call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised, and I am 3safe from mine enemies. Unto this author then of his safety he rendereth praise and honour: and that in such sort as may stir up others thereunto withal, that God by the thanksgiving of more may be more glorified, let him be exalted. To the performance of the which duty, that he may give a sharper edge & hotter zeal to himself and others; he amplifieth and openeth more particularly both the cause of the duty and the duty it self, in the verses following. Touching the cause of the duty, he saith, The mighty God, that ⟨p. 6⟩giveth me revengements, & bringeth people under me, that delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast exalted me above them that rose up against me, thou hast delivered me from the cruel man.
