Vers. 68 Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes.
Vers. 68 Thou art good and grati•us: teach me thy st•tutes.
HE desireth to be taught by God, that whether he were in prosperity or trouble, he might live well; because prosperity would make him forgetful, and affliction would ou•• whelme him, if God did •ot teach him. This must teach us, that in what state soever we be, we desire to be taught of God, otherwise we shall false. After he had showed that he keepeth Gods commanden eats, he craveth for grace, where he pleadeth not his merit. Though he kept the word, yet he prayeth that he may still be raught, because he knw not all, and because he was ready to ee both in practise and judgement. And ts must teach us not only to desire to be taught when we ee, but even when we do well He prayeth especially for the teaching of the spirit.
