Remove from me shame and contempt: for I have kept thy testimonies.
Remooue from me shame and contempte: for I haue kept thy testimonies.
Here David commenceth a new suit unto God, to wit, that he would hold him in his innocency and purity. And it is not without cause that he so doeth, for we see that they which serve God with their whole heart, are contemned, and despised, yea, they are most shamefully slandered. For we see even at this day, that he which walketh simply, he shall by and by be called an hypocrite. All they which would serve God, are thus cried out upon, O these hypocrites! O these mortified! See here how the purity & simplicity of the faith full is despised & naught set by. For the devil possesseth the contemners of God in such sort, as that they vomit out their blasphemies , not only against those whom they purpose to oppose them selves, but even against God him self.
