Sect. 1. Analysis of the whole Psalme.

This Psalm is doctrinal; teaching us, that the godly and just man is blessed, and that whether we consider him simply in himself, which is handled from verse 1. to the tenth, or compare him with the wicked verse 10. In himself he is blessed: first, in respect of his inward graces exercised in outward duties, and secondly, in regard of many singular privileges, wherewith his graces and virtuous actions ⟨p. 2⟩are richly rewarded, and these are intermingled throughout the whole Psalm. His inward graces here specified are divers. First, the fear of God. Secondly, delight in his commandments, verse 1. Thirdly, graciousness. Fourthly, mercy and compassion. Fifthly, justice, verse 3. Sixthly, faith and affiance in God, vers. 7.
