these_o day_n as_o when_o they_o be_v make_v sure_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o reject_v sing_v of_o david_n psalm_n that_o they_o be_v pen_v for_o the_o use_n of_o god_n people_n

sing_v the_o 35th_o psalm_n and_o consider_v what_o usage_n god_n people_n have_v in_o the_o world_n from_o wicked_a man_n and_o what_o course_n they_o must_v take_v to_o rid_v themselves_o of_o they_o viz._n to_o complain_v to_o god_n and_o so_o engage_v all_o the_o power_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n against_o they_o the_o 36th_o psalm_n teach_v we_o to_o oppose_v and_o set_v the_o gracious_a

do_v it_o we_o may_v sing_v the_o 38th_o psalm_n and_o consider_v what_o suffering_n come_v upon_o god_n own_o people_n for_o sin_n and_o so_o help_v to_o move_v and_o cause_v our_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n towards_o the_o distress_a church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n we_o may_v also_o take_v occasion_n to_o consider_v that_o our_o suffering_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o labour_n to_o quiet_a and_o patient_a our_o spirit_n as_o david_n do_v by_o faith_n and_o fervent_a prayer_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 15_o 21_o and_o 22th_o verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n in_o sing_v the_o 39th_o psalm_n we_o may_v learn_v that_o it_o be_v through_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o good_a man_n such_o as_o david_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o repine_v at_o the_o present_a dispensation_n of_o divine_a providence_n that_o good_a man_n such_o as_o david_n may_v be_v overcome_v by_o such_o a_o temptation_n notwithstanding_o all_o their_o purpose_n and_o resolution_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o that_o good_a and_o godly_a man_n will_v bestir_v themselves_o and_o strive_v to_o act_v faith_n in_o fervent_a prayer_n to_o god_n for_o deliverance_n out_o of_o their_o present_a trouble_n and_o for_o support_v under_o they_o the_o 40th_o psalm_n acquaint_v we_o with_o david_n experience_n how_o god_n have_v answer_v he_o in_o his_o desire_n and_o wrought_v wonderful_o for_o his_o deliverance_n it_o give_v we_o also_o to_o understand_v how_o sensible_a he_o be_v of_o those_o many_o and_o great_a obligation_n which_o god_n have_v lay_v upon_o he_o by_o his_o lovingkindness_n and_o how_o resolve_v he_o be_v to_o give_v a_o real_a testimimony_n as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v of_o his_o thankfulness_n by_o declare_v to_o other_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o because_o he_o know_v that_o trouble_n and_o danger_n do_v still_o abide_v he_o he_o commend_v himself_o by_o prayer_n to_o the_o direction_n and_o defence_n of_o god_n almighty_a and_o that_o not_o only_o for_o his_o own_o safety_n and_o preservation_n but_o that_o other_o may_v be_v confirm_v in_o faith_n and_o so_o have_v occasion_n also_o to_o show_v forth_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o have_v also_o in_o this_o psalm_n a_o instruction_n concerning_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n that_o it_o consist_v especial_o in_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o apply_v some_o passsage_n out_o of_o the_o six_o seven_o and_o eight_o verse_n to_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n chap._n 10._o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n in_o perform_v all_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o the_o reconcile_n of_o the_o world_n we_o may_v hence_o confirm_v our_o faith_n in_o assurance_n that_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v perfect_o accomplish_v according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n who_o be_v not_o please_v with_o sacrifice_n but_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o well_o belove_a son_n isa._n 42._o 1._o mat._n 3._o 17._o the_o one_o and_o fourtieth_o psalm_n instruct_v we_o concerning_o the_o perfidious_a baseness_n of_o wicked_a and_o worldly_a man_n who_o be_v apt_a to_o insult_v over_o god_n servant_n when_o they_o lie_v under_o the_o afflict_a hand_n of_o god_n it_o teach_v we_o also_o how_o to_o judge_v of_o good_a man_n suffering_n and_o not_o to_o conclude_v they_o therefore_o to_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n and_o utter_o cast_v off_o and_o moreover_o we_o may_v hence_o learn_v when_o we_o find_v most_o deceit_n and_o falsehood_n in_o man_n to_o fix_v our_o heart_n on_o god_n by_o faith_n expect_v deliverance_n according_a to_o his_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n in_o the_o two_o and_o fourtieth_o psalm_n we_o may_v see_v how_o david_n be_v almost_o overwhelm_v with_o many_o and_o great_a calamity_n that_o follow_v one_o upon_o another_o as_o the_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n one_o no_o soon_o past_a but_o another_o come_v and_o yet_o how_o he_o bear_v himself_o up_o
