Psalms 21

God has land enough to give to all his heirs, there can be no want in that which is infinite. If God be infinite, he fills all places, is everywhere present; this is sad to the wicked, God is their enemy and they cannot escape him, nor fly from him, for he is everywhere present:…

Pardoning mercy is the sauce that makes all other mercies relish the sweeter; it sweetens our health, riches, and honor. David had a crown of pure gold set upon his head (Psalm 21:3). But that which David did most bless God for was not that God had set a crown of gold upon his h…

It is mercy to feed us, but it is rich mercy to pardon us; this is spun and woven out of the bowels of free grace. Earthly things are no signs of God's love; he may give the venison, but not the blessing, but when God seals up forgiveness, he gives his love and heaven with it (P…

Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession (Psalm 2:8). When Christ asks souls of the Father, he gives him his asking: the Lord cannot withhold from this King the desire of his heart (Psalm 21:2). He…

This is a great matter (I say), not to be moved with these great offenses, and to be able, not only to despise them, but also to esteem this poor Christ so spitefully scorned, spit upon, whipped and crucified, more than the riches of all the richest, the strength of all the stro…

And verse 53. Horror has taken hold upon me, because of the wicked that forsake Thy law. He expresses high exercises of joy, Psalm 21:1. The king shall [reconstructed: joy] in Thy strength; and in Thy salvation, how greatly shall he rejoice. Psalm 71:23. My lips shall greatly re…

Be exalted, O God, in your own strength. We will sing and praise your power. (Psalm 21:13) Forsake me not until I have showed your strength to this generation, and your power to every one that is to come, etc. (Psalm 71:18)

And when Job's three friends. The word which we translate (friends) springs from a root which signifies to feed a man's self, or others, or to eat together, as sheep eat together, and so from the same word, a Pastor or a feeder of sheep is derived (Psalm 21:1). The Lord is my Sh…

2. The object proposed to these daughters, is King Solomon, even the King of Zion the King of Peace, and King of Saints, in a word, their King: This relation makes him lovely to them; yet, it's not Christ simply that is here proposed to their view, but Christ with a crown, in mo…

1. His head is as the most fine gold; or his head gold, solid gold, so some, made of pure gold, so others, [illegible] say the 70 retaining part of both the Hebrew words [illegible] massa auri. Two things are eminent in gold; splendor or glory, and duration; this is that which t…

It is the Lord's mercy to the richest, for they were miserable and indigent. It is a great mercy to relieve those from hand to mouth: but you that have abundance, it is a double mercy to you, for he anticipates the necessity before it was felt; as (Psalm 21:3) You anticipated hi…

4. The believers are blessed through Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:10, 13; Psalm 32:1-2; Romans 4:6; Psalm 2:12; Psalm 119:1). Their afflictions and death are blessed, precious in the eyes of the Lord, not qualified with any law-curse (Job 5:17; Psalm 94:12; Matthew 5:6; Luke 6:22;…
