(2) В¶ And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; (3) The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
Do observe how David is labouring for expressions to show forth the wonderful perfections of GOD, and that that GOD, with all his perfections, is his GOD in covenant. Oh! it is sweet when faith makes an appropriating right of all that GOD hath, and is, as our own, when, like the bee, the flowers are not only visited by her, and sipped in the present moment, but she brings home to her little hive constant store for every occasion. Reader! see to it, in your own experience, that this is your case. When you not only contemplate a GOD in CHRIST, as the rock, and fortress, and deliverer of his people; but faith can add to it, he is the GOD of my rock, and in him do I trust.
