Thirdly, From the manner of expression, He delivereth the poor in affliction,
Note; They who are not delivered from affliction, may yet be delivered in affliction.
God doth not always deliver his People from affliction (either not suffering affliction to fall upon them, or presently bringing them out of affliction) but he is engaged (by promise) to deliver them in affliction; and this he doth sometimes by checking the affliction, that it shall not hurt them; sometimes by enabling them to bear, yea, to conquer the affliction, how much soever it hurts them. He delivered those in the third of Daniel, in the fiery fu• nace, by checking the fire that it should not hurt them; and Daniel in the Lions den, by checking the hungry Lyons that they did not devour him. He delivered Job, and David, and Jeremiah, and the Apostles, and all the Martyrs, who loved not their lives to the death for the testimony of Jesus, by causing them to glory in, and triumph over all their tribulations. He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
