Browse · Psalms · 71
1a He praieth to God with ful assurance of faith, that he wil deliuer him from his aduersaries.
1! He praieth in faith, established by the worde of the promes.
2b By declaring thy self true of promes.
3c Thou hast infinite meanes, & all creatures are at thy commandement: therefore shew some signe, whereby I shalbe deliuered.
4d That is, from Absolom, Ahithophel & that conspiracie.
5! And confirmed by the worke of God from his youth
5e He strengtheneth his faith by the experience of Gods benefites, who did not onely preserue him in his mothers belly, but toke him thence, & euer since hathe preserued him.
7f All the worlde wondereth at me because of my miseries, aswel thei in autoritie, as the common people, yet being assured of thy fauour I remained stedfast.
9g Thou that didst helpe me in my youth, when I had more strength, helpe me now so muche the more in mine olde age & weakenes.
10! He complaineth of the crueltie of his enemies.
11h Thus the wicked bothe blaspheme God & triumph against his Saints, as thogh he had forsaken them, if he suffer them to fall into their hands.
12i In calling him his God, he putteth backe the false reportes of the aduersaries, that said, God had forsaken him.
15k Because thy benefites toward me are innumberable, I can not but continually meditate & rehearse them.
16l I wil remaine stedfast being vpholden with the power of God.
17! And desireth God to continue his graces towarde him.
18m He desireth that as he hathe begonne, he wolde so continue his benefites, that his liberalitie maie haue perfite praise.
19n Thy just performance of thy promes.
19o His faith breaketh through all tentacions, & by this exclamation he praiseth the power of God.
20p As he confesseth that God is the onelie autor of his deliuerance: so he acknowledgeth that these euils were sent vnto him by Gods prouidence.
22! Promising to be mindeful and thaneful for the same.
22q He confesseth that his long tariance was wel recompensed, when God performed his promes.
23r For there is no true praising of God, except it come from the heart: and therefore he promiseth to delite in nothing, but wherein God mai be glorified.
