I know, O Lord By the convictions of my own conscience, and by experience; that thy judgments are right That thy corrections, as the next clause explains this, are just and proper, and that thou, in faithfulness, hast afflicted me That is, in order to the accomplishment of thy faithful promises, and for my present and eternal good. Let thy merciful kindness, &c. Yet, in judgment, remember mercy, and give me that support in, and deliverance out of my troubles which thou hast promised. Let thy tender mercies Thy tender compassion, and pardoning grace; come unto me Let me have the evidence that I indeed possess them, and experience their blessed efficacy in my own heart; that I may live That, being passed from death unto life, I may live a life of faith, hope, and love, of joy and gladness, of holiness and happiness; for thy law is my delight And while I rely on its promises, I make it my care to obey its precepts, and thus manifest the truth of my repentance. Observe, reader, a good man cannot be satisfied or happy without evident tokens of God's favour to him; but those that delight in God's law shall not be left destitute of those tokens.
