CONTENTS
This Psalm contains a pious and devout acknowledgment, that all blessings are from the Lord. Neither the builder, nor the soldier, nor the master of a family, can be successful in their several callings, but from the divine mercy.
A Song of Degrees for Solomon.
Under two striking similitudes, the sacred Writer points out the vast necessity of looking stedfastly, and continually to God, for his blessing upon every concern. He instanceth the cases of the builder, and the soldier. No builder like him that buildeth for eternity; no soldier like him that fights, or watcheth for an immortal victory: but whence, for either shall we hope for success, except we be founded in the Lord Jesus Christ?
