Psalms 7

REFLECTIONS UPON PSALM VII.—While I here behold the much-persecuted and reproached Jesus, in his perfect righteousness, justified by his Father, and avenged of all his enemies, Jewish, Heathen, &c. let me think how complete and commodious a refuge God is in every time of trouble! In him we can never be moved. However brutish and cruel our enemies may be, while we are weak we are strong! No false accusation need dismay us while we are conscious of our innocence, and have a gracious God to appeal to as our witness and judge. There is no kindness which he will not grant for the benefit of his people, and the glory of his own perfections. Out of his favour there is no safety, and in it there is no danger. If he justify us, none dare accuse or condemn us. And, though our uprightness is not the condition of our eternal happiness, dreadful and unavoidable is the ruin of impenitent sinners. Their contrivances and attempts against the godly shall prove means of their own destruction; when they, who trusted in the Lord and kept his way, triumph in notes of endless praise
