Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Nathanael Emmons, D. D, Vol. 3: Late Pastor of the Church in Franklin, Mass, With a Memoir of His Life We have reason to believe that David composed this psalm under the impression of some striking instance of mortality. He pours out his heart before God in this plaintive language: "I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. My heart was hot within me; while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am." In this strain he proceeds, until he says in the text, "I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it." This last expression more naturally applies to some bereavement, than to any other affliction; and more properly describes the feelings of a pious mourner, than those of any other person. It seems the Psalmist had lately suffered the loss of some near relative, or very dear and intimate friend. This affliction at first threw his mind into a painful conflict; but while he was musing in solitude, he had a clear and realizing sense that his bereavement came from God, which bowed his heart in humble submission to the divine will. The spirit and language of the text, therefore, invite our attention to this plain truth: That a consideration of bereavements coming from God, is the proper ground of true submission.
