Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes.
Thou art good and gratious: teach me thy statutes.
David here repeateth again the same petition which we have heard. And it is the very same which I have already touched: to wit, that amongst all the prayers which we must make unto God, this is one of the most principal, to desire him to instruct us in his word: that we be not given in such sort to that which concerneth this present life, and our bodies, as that we think no whit of the glass of our souls. Now this glass is it which consisteth in the word of God.
Dauid here repeateth againe the same petition which we haue heard. And it is the very same which I haue already touched: to wit, that amongs all the praiers which we must make vnto God, this is one of the most principall, to desire him to instruct vs in his woorde: that wee be not giuen in such sort to that which concerneth this present life, and our bodies, as that wee thinke no whit of the glasse of our soules. Nowe this glasse is it which consisteth in the worde of God.
So then, let us not forget this so great a benefit, when as we are about to pray unto God, that we have this in a most especial remembrance, that we may be instructed in his statutes. Now over and beside this request, David useth the same reason which he hath set down in the first verse: that is when he sayeth, That God is good and gracious.
