Verse 5, 6.
1Proceed we now to the second part of this Psalm, which contains the deportment of a sin-perplexed soul; when by Faith it hath discovered where its Rest doth lye, and from whom its relief is to be expected; even from the forgiveness which is with God, whereof we have spoken.
1PRoceed we now to the second part of this Psalm, which contains the deportment of a sin-perplexed soul; when by Faith it hath discovered where its Rest doth lye, and from whom its relief is to be expected; even from the forgiveness which is with God, whereof we have spoken.
- 1V. 5, 6.
There are two things in general, as was before mentioned, that the soul in that condition applies it self unto; whereof the first respects its self, and the other the whole Israel of God.
That which respects its self, is the description of that frame of heart and spirit that he was brought into, upon faiths discovery of forgiveness in God; with the duties that he applied himself unto, the grounds of it, and the manner of its performance, v. 5, 6.
