A friend edited and kindly donated The Bay Psalm Book for our use. Get it in print on Lulu.
This psalm was probably penned on the occasion of Absalom’s rebellion, as Psalm 3rd, 42nd, 43rd; or of Sheba’s conspiracy, 2 Samuel 20. It contains, (1.) David’s firm confidence in God, encouraged by manifold experiences of his gracious kindness, ver. 1,3,5-7. (2.) His fervent prayers that he might never be ashamed, but might be delivered; might find rest in God; might have constant matter of new praises and thanksgivings afforded him; might not be forsaken of God in his old age; and might have his numerous, powerful, and crafty enemies, confounded with shame and perplexity, ver. 1-13,18. (3.) His confident and joyful expectations of God’s further kindness, particularly that God would never forsake, but revive him; that he would increase his honour and comfort, and put his enemies to shame: Along with which he resolves, with admiring rapture, to extol God’s righteousness and salvation, and his new-covenant relation to himself, and to Israel, ver. 14-24.
While I sing, let me be affected with my troubles. Let me never stagger at the promise through unbelief, but be strong in the faith, giving glory to God.
