pierce_v the_o heaven_n god_n hear_v his_o voice_n out_o of_o his_o temple_n and_o speedy_o in_o the_o best_a season_n come_v for_o his_o deliverance_n he_o be_v see_v upon_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o

his_o power_n in_o its_o most_o noble_a exercise_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o david_n such_o a_o ingenuous_a and_o grateful_a sense_n the_o psalmist_n have_v of_o the_o divine_a mercy_n this_o give_v the_o sweet_a relish_n of_o his_o deliverance_n this_o be_v his_o true_a triumph_n after_o the_o final_a conquest_n of_o his_o enemy_n indeed_o his_o enemy_n be_v unjust_a and_o cruel_a and_o god_n vindicate_v the_o justice_n of_o his_o cause_n against_o they_o therefore_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n reward_v i_o according_a to_o my_o righteousness_n according_a to_o the_o cleanness_n of_o my_o hand_n have_v he_o recompense_v i_o he_o declare_v the_o holiness_n of_o his_o conversation_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v not_o wicked_o depart_v from_o my_o

text_n there_o be_v a_o solemn_a declaration_n of_o david_n uprightness_n by_o his_o atte_a god_n the_o searcher_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o heart_n i_o be_v upright_o before_o he_o and_o by_o a_o

that_o be_v how_o this_o profession_n of_o uprightness_n be_v reconcileable_a with_o david_n action_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o uriah_n whether_o we_o consider_v the_o quality_n of_o his_o sin_n the_o crimson_a gild_n and_o kill_a circumstance_n that_o attend_v they_o especial_o the_o deliberate_a and_o cruel_a contrivance_n of_o uriah_n death_n or_o whether_o we_o consider_v the_o fearful_a interval_n between_o his_o sin_n and_o repentance_n for_o like_o some_o fair_a river_n that_o in_o their_o current_n sudden_o sink_v under_o ground_n and_o be_v lose_v in_o their_o secret_a passage_n till_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n they_o rise_v and_o flow_v again_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o david_n he_o that_o be_v so_o conspicuous_a in_o holiness_n of_o life_n sink_v into_o a_o gulf_n of_o sensuality_n and_o cruelty_n and_o for_o a_o long_a time_n be_v unrelenting_a and_o unreformed_a till_o by_o a_o special_a message_n from_o god_n by_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n he_o be_v renew_v to_o repentance_n and_o restore_v to_o the_o forfeit_a favour_n of_o god._n to_o this_o objection_n some_o learned_a interpreter_n answer_v that_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o innocence_n and_o integrity_n must_v be_v understand_v with_o a_o tacit_n exception_n according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n concern_v he_o that_o he_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o turn_v not_o aside_o from_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n save_v only_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o uriah_n that_o sin_n though_o a_o dreadful_a provocation_n yet_o do_v not_o blast_v the_o uprightness_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o life_n and_o make_v it_o unacceptable_a to_o god._n 2._o this_o affirmation_n of_o david_n may_v refer_v to_o his_o afflict_a state_n when_o his_o conscience_n be_v tender_a and_o vigilant_a and_o his_o passion_n so_o subdue_v that_o though_o saul_n his_o most_o unrighteous_a and_o implacable_a

on_o he_o and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o his_o own_o fear_n yet_o he_o reject_v the_o motion_n with_o abhorrence_n god_n forbid_v i_o shall_v lift_v up_o my_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v
