How long O Lord Wilt thou forget mee for euer How long wilt thou hide thy face away from me THIS Psalme as appeareth by the whole tenour of it was composed by the Prophet DAVID during the time of some grieuous and tedious temporall affliction and that accompanied also as may seeme with some spirituall desertion And it may well for the subiect matter of it be tearmed DAVIDS Remembrancer as being penned by him for this end to put God in minde of him and of his present forlorne and distressed estate The Psalme consisteth of three principall Parts There is first a grieuous complaint of his present condition propounded by way of expostulation 1. In regard of God who seemed not to regard him 2. In regard of himselfe by meanes thereof driuen to his shifts and in a manner at his wits end 3. In regard of his aduersaries who tooke occasion thereby to triumph and insult ouer him There is secondly an humble suit and request commenced by him to God and conceiued in three distinct parts answering the three branches of his former complaint For 1. Hee requesteth God that he would Behold and heare that hee would vouchsafe to regard him and turne his face againe towards him and not send him away inaudita querelà vnheard and vnanswered 2. He addeth some Reasons why he desireth and requireth God thus to heare and regard him ●… In regard of himselfe that hee sleepe not in death not meant as some thinke of sleeping in Sinne though Sinne in Scripture be oft compared to Sleepe no●… as others of the ●…eath of griefe and despaire though that be said too to be a kinde of Death and maketh a mans life oft no better yea more bitter than Death nor yet as others of dying eternally of being euerlastingly damned but of temporall death that is vsually tearmed a Sleepe and is nothing indeed but a Sleepe longer than vsuall yea in some sort a perpetuall Sleepe because to continue as long as the world lasteth that hee might not die in this distressed and discomfortable estate 2. In regard of his malicious and euill affected Aduersaries that they might not haue longer or further cause of joy and triumph in his ouerthrow as hauing now without all helpe or hope of recouery gotten the vpper hand of him And there is thirdly a cheerefull and a comfortable Conclusion wherein as recollecting himselfe and controlling the voice of sense with the voice of Faith 1. He professeth his trust and confidence in God 2. Hee promiseth himselfe assured helpe and deliuerance from God And 3. He praiseth God for it as if alreadie he had receiued it See the picture of an hopefull heart saith Chrysostome he craueth aid of God and before he haue it he renders thankes for it as if alreadie he had it And thus haue you the Summe and Substance
