The righteous man's habitation in the time of plague and pestilence being a brief…

This Psalm ('tis thought) was made upon the occasion of the plague and pestilence that was in David's time. So Molerus; wherein you have the best Antidote against the plague and pestilence. The whole Psalm is nothing else but a great promise of special protection for those that trust in the Lord in the time of the plague: wherein three or four things are most especially considerable, the Evil, Danger and Misery of the Plague and Pestilence; protection and deliverance promised in the time thereof: the persons upon whom the promise is entailed; the way, mode, means, and manner, how God will deliver and protect in the time of a plague.

'Tis said in the sixth verse, that it walketh in darkness; and it is called destruction that wasteth at noon-day, in regard of the spreading and infective nature of it. At the thirteenth verse 'tis compared unto the lion and adder, the young lion and the dragon, for the destructive and devouring nature of it, which nothing can stand before.
