The inscription of this Psalme doth particularlie aduertise vs 1. Of the author thereof namely Dauid and of the person vnto whose charge it was committed to order the singing of the same vers 1. 2. Of the time when the said Psalme was indited occasion whereupon the said Psalme was indited The time of inditing the said Psalme was shortly after the Lord had addressed the Prophet Nathan vnto Dauid to reprooue and conuince him of his adultery with Bathshebah and of his murther in the person of Vriah The occasion of inditing it was the reproofe and conuiction performed by the said Prophet For Dauid being drawne thereby to a serious consideration of the sayd sinnes to the end he might leaue to the Church of God a testimony of his repentance and a direction both to Prince and subiect how to demeane themselues in the case of any their transgressions against the Lord thought meete to indite and divulge this most worthie Psalme Now in the said Psalme the Prophet Dauid tendereth vnto the Lord his humble sute 1. For himselfe From the beginning of the 3. verse to the end of the 19. 2. For the Church and common-wealth of Israel verse 20.21 The sute he maketh for himselfe is partly 1. For pardon of his sins vers 3.4.9.11.16 2. For restitution to his former estate Of inward grace and sanctification v. 12. Of outward fauors prerogatiues v. 13.14 These seuerall sutes he maketh for himselfe he tendreth first singly and soliciteth each of them in a peculiar sort then hee propoundeth them ioyntly and pleadeth in common for the grant of them all vers 15.16.17.18.19 The request he maketh for pardon of his sinnes is expressed in these different formes of speech 1. Be mercifull vnto me in blotting out mine iniquities as it were out of the booke of debt and account wherein thou hast recorded them vers 3. 2. Wash and clense me from my sin vers 4. to note that sinne is meerly pollution and filthines 3. Purge me from my sinne with hyssope vers 9. that is by the blood of the Messias the sprinkling wherof vpon vs for the purgation of our sinnes was represented by the ceremonial sprinkling of hyssope 4. Hide thy face from my sinne vers 11. 5. Deliuer mee from blood vers 16. that is from the guilt of my bloodie sinnes and from the particular punishment due vnto them Howsoeuer it hath pleased the Prophet to deliuer his sute for the remission of his iniquities in this varietie of phrase we must know that he doth in each of them comprehend this sense Be mercifull vnto me for the pardon of my sinnes vers 3.4.9.11.16 Let vs now see how hee pleadeth with the Lord for the graunt of this pardon To perswade the Lord hereto he vseth sundrie arguments The first whereof is this Arg. 1 Thou art O Lord of a nature gratious and abounding in compassion vers 3. in the middest Therefore accordingly thereto be mercifull vnto me for the pardon of my sinnes vers 3. in the beginning and end Hauing remembred vnto the Lord the exceeding goodnes and gratiousnesse of his nature with request that the Lord would answerably thereto proceede with him now least some exception might be taken against him for impenitencie and disacknowledgement of his offence the Prophet doth acquaint the Lord how hee demeaneth himselfe in this behalfe namely that he doth with griefe of heart humbly confesse and acknowledge his iniquities Which confession he maketh as hauing a speciall eye and regard to the Lords promise of mercie in the case of our returne vnto him by vnfained confession and humiliation Out of this argument hee pleadeth thus with the Lord for remission of his sinnes Arg. 2. Who with a sensible feeling and griefe for his sinnes doth humbly confesse and acknowledge them vnto him O Lord it may please thee to be mercifull in the pardon of his sins This is the Lords promise in effect But I with a sensible feeling and griefe for my sins do humbly confesse and acknowledge them vers 5.6 Therefore it may please thee to be mercifull vnto me in the pardon of them vers 3.4 The Assumption is by the Prophet amplified diuersly 1. By noting the end of this his confession which is that it may thereby appeare how iustly the Lord hath proceeded with Dauid both in reproouing him for his sinne by the Prophet Nathan and in punishing him by the death of his child vers 6. in the later part where it is said That thou maist be knowne to be iust in thy speaking that is in thy reproofe of me made by Nathan and pure when thou iudgest that is found vpright in thy proceeding with me when thou diddest punish me in the person of my childe 2. By setting downe the very roote and spring of the sinnes confessed by him namely the originall corruption of his nature whereof he confesseth himselfe guiltie euen then when he was formed and cherished in the wombe of his mother vers 7. 3. By declaring the forme and manner of committing the sinnes confessed which was wittingly and with knowledge vers 8.
