HE here confirms (as before) the hearts of the faithful,1 and speaks to the whole Church: for the calamity was universal, and her estate was almost utterly ruinated. Now he bids her be of good cheer, and adds the reason; namely, that her deliverance should be so famous, that she should not be confounded. As if he should have said; Though now for a while thy case be desperate, yet thy matters shall succeed prosperously: for those that trust in the Lord, shall not be confounded: as the Psalmist saith, Psal. 25.2. Chap. 49.23.
