Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons Twelve In the 26th Psalm, and at the 14th verse, you will read these words: - "The Secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He Will Show Them His Covenant." The heading of this Psalm is "A Psalm of David," and, being a Psalm of his, we may expect to find in it, his thoughts, his feelings, and his experiences. It has been divided into three parts, thus: "David´s confidence in prayer;" "he prayeth for remission of sins;" and "for help in affliction." Thus threefold division of the Psalm may be fairly justified by what we find recorded in the Psalm itself. He expresses his confidence in God in the first two verses thus: "Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul, O my God, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me." Prayer thus based upon confidence in God, you have to the end of the 6th verse. He had been taught by the Spirit not to trust in an arm of flesh, nor in man, nor in the will of man, nor in any creature; but in the Lord His God. The Lord alone is the confidence of His people, and He will help them in all times of need. In the second part of the Psalm, he prayeth for remission of sins; as in the 7th verse: "Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to Thy mercy remember Thou me for Thy goodness´ sake, O Lord." And in the 11th verse: "For Thy Name´s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great" David felt himself to be a sinner, and a great sinner; and this he confesses to his God. He needed a great Saviour, and great forgiveness. He knew that God only could put away his sins, and that too for His own Name´s sake. He prays for help and strength from God in all times of his needs and afflictions: as in the 15th and following verses. "Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord:" here again the Lord is his confidence, - he is looking unto Him. "For He shall pluck my feet out of the net.
