Psalm 116

^{1 !} Dauid being in great danger of Saul in the desert of Maon, perceiuing the great and inestimable laue of God toward him, maginifieth suche great mercies,

^{1 a} He granteth that no pleasure is so great, as to fele Gods helpe in our necessitie, nether that anie thing more stirreth vp our loue toward him.

^{2 b} That is, inconuenient time to seke helpe, which was when he was in distres.

^{5 c} He sheweth forthe the frute of his loue in calling vpon him, confessing him to be just & merciful, & to help them that are destitute of aide & counsel.

^{7 d} Which was vnquieted before, now rest vpon the Lord: for he hathe bene beneficial towards thee.

^{9 e} The Lord wil preseue me, & saue my life.

^{10 f} I felt all these things, and therefore was moued by faith to confess them, {2 Cor. 4,13}

^{11 g} In my great distresse I thoght God wolde not regarde man, which is but lies and vanitie, yet I ouercame this tentacion and felt the contrarie.

^{13 !} And protesteth that he wil be thankeful for the same.

^{13 h} In the Law thei vsed to make a banket, when thei gaue solemne thankes to God, and to take the cup & drinke in signe of thankesgiuing.

^{15 i} I perceiue that God hathe a care ouer his, so that he bothe disposeth their death and taketh an account.

^{18 k} I wil thanke him for his benefites: for that is a juste paiement, to confesse that we owe all to God.
