Rejoice the soul of thy servant It is God only that can put gladness into the heart, and make the soul rejoice; and it is the privilege of his servants to have joy, as well as peace, in believing: and they may pray in faith, not only that God would preserve their souls, but that he would rejoice their souls, and then the joy of the Lord will be their strength. For unto thee do I lift up my soul Then we may expect comfort from God, when we take care to keep up our communion with him: prayer is the nurse of spiritual joy. For thou, Lord, art good No less bountiful than I am indigent, which is a great encouragement to me in calling upon thee; and ready to forgive Those that have offended thee; and plenteous in mercy unto all that call upon thee Always prepared to show abundant kindness to them in their distresses, when with sincere desire, and true faith, they call upon thee.
