Is better than the riches of many wicked Because he hath it with many great and glorious advantages; with God's favour and blessing, with great serenity and satisfaction of his own mind, which is infinitely more desirable and comfortable than all earthly possessions, with the consolations of God's Spirit, and the assurance of everlasting felicity: while wicked men's riches are loaded with many encumbrances; with the wrath and curse of God; the torment of their own consciences and passions; and the dreadful expectation of an after-reckoning, and of endless miseries. The Lord upholdeth the righteous This is a proof of what he had said Psalms 37:16. For what the wicked have shall suddenly be lost and gone, but God will maintain the righteous in their happy estate.
