IN this Psalm the Prophet Admonisheth the Persons of his time of God's Coming to them, to Judge their Religion and Profession. And here he shews, That the Worship that Pleaseth him Consists not in External costly Legal Sacrifices, Ver. 8, — 13. but must chiefly be Moral and Spiritual Worship; which he sets down in Three Branches.

'Tis Here that Jacob hath a Time of Trouble, Jo. 30. 7. and the Seed of Jacob are often troubled on every side, 2 Cor. 4. 8. The Church is here in a Militant State; The Wicked plotteth against the Just, &c. Psalm 37. 12. He watcheth the Righteous, and seeketh to slay him, Ver. 32. Whence it comes to pass usually, That every one that departeth from Iniquity, maketh himself a Prey, Isa. 59. 15. So that (in short) all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus, may reckon on Persecution and Trouble. Afflictions and Sufferings are so much the common Lot of the Righteous, that though they may have some Fair Days and short Refreshing Seasons, yet Foul Weather and Storms frequently attend them from the raging Seas of swelling Wickedness, Pride, and Envy.
