Psalms 11

Psalms 11:4

I stand - I pray importunately and continually.

Psalms 11:5

Turned - As if thou hadst changed thy very nature, which is kind, and merciful, and gracious.

Psalms 11:6

Thou - Thou exposest me, to all sorts of storms and calamities; so that I am like chaff or stubble lifted up to the wind, and violently tossed hither and thither in the air. Substance - By which, my body is almost consumed, and my heart is melted within me.

Psalms 11:7

House appointed - The grave is a narrow, dark, cold house, but there we shall rest and be safe. It is our home, for it is our mother’s lap, and in it we are gathered to our fathers. It is an house appointed for us, by him that has appointed the bounds of all our habitations. And it is appointed for all living. It is the common receptacle for rich and poor: we must all be brought thither, and that shortly.
