A Word fitly spoken, saith Solomon, is like Apples of Gold in pictures of Silver. In which respect I have chosen this Scripture to treat on at this time. When the Winds begin to rise, and a Storm threatens, it is time then to get our spiritual Tackling ready, and to cast Anchor. The Mariner casts his Anchor downward; the Christian casts his Anchor upward, within the Veil; he doth in the deepest danger cast out the Sheet Anchor of Faith, and ⟨p. 104⟩is not afraid: So saith the Text; He shall not be afraid of evil tidings, his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
In this Psalm you have described the character of a righteous man; v. 1. He delighteth greatly in Gods Commands: he doth not only keep Gods Commands, but he loves them; they are the joy of his heart; he delighteth greatly in Gods Commands.
Secondly, In this Psalm is set down the righteous mans happiness, several ways.
First, His Children shall be blessed; verse 2. His seed shall be mighty upon earth. Righteousness entails mercy upon posterity.
