David was young, and after was old, yet in all his days he never saw the righteous forsaken. Sometimes he scourgeth his children, but like a loving father he layeth no more upon them than they are able to be are, for he afflicteth them for his own justice, because they are sinners: for his wisdom, to exercise their faith: for his mercy, to cause them to repent, but this is the end of all, he helpeth them in their distresses, he revengeth himself upon his enemies, & giveth to his people rest and quietness. O that we would therefore praise the Lord, and forget not all other his singular benefits: O that we would confess, that his mercy endureth for ever.
