As David, Psal 42. 11. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I ⟨p. 301⟩shall yet praise him, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
As David, Psal 42. 11. Why art thou cast downe, O my soule? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I ⟨p. 301⟩shall yet praise him, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
O my God, saith he in ver. 6. of that Psalm, my soul is cast down within me, (no question but for the absence of Gods favour, ver. 7. My rock, Why hast thou forgotten me••) therefore (saith he) will I remember thee. Remember him, O David? What encouragements so to do? Thy Rock seemeth to forget thee, and all his waves and billows are gone over thee, thou art in a tossed, and forgotten condition, and yet thou sayest, I will remember thee. Now see ver. 8. Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
