I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy commandments. The ungodly laid wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider thy testimonies.
I am thine, saue me: for I haue sought thy commandements. The vngodly layde wayte for me to destroye me, but I will consider thy testimonies.
After that David had made such protestation, he committeth him self to GOD, even declaring that he hath sought his commandments. And so he speaketh not only of the time past, but remaineth always constant in this purpose. Now we have here to consider of three points: the one is, the request which David maketh to God, O save me: The second is, the reason why he desireth God to save him, Because saith he, I am thine. And afterward he showeth how he is gods, that is, for I, sayeth he, have sought thy commandments. And thus we see in the first place, how God offereth him self unto us, and that he desireth nothing else but to ⟨p. 103⟩hold us in his protection, to have care of our salvation, yea so that we come unto him after the example of David.
After that Dauid had made such protestation, hee committeth him selfe to GOD, euen declaring that hee hath sought his commaundementes. And so hee speaketh not only of the time past, but remaineth alwaies cōstant in this purpose. Now we haue here to cōsider of three points: the one is, the request which Dauid maketh to God, O saue me: The second is, the reason why he desireth God to saue him, Bicause saith he, I am thine. And afterward he sheweth how he is gods, that is, for I, saieth he, haue sought thy commandements. And thus we see in the first place, how God offereth him selfe vnto vs, and that hee desireth nothing els but to ⟨p. 103⟩holde vs in his protection, to haue care of our saluation, yea so that we come vnto him after the example of Dauid.
