Thou shalt guide me: as thou hast kept me hitherto in all my trials, so I am assured thou wilt lead me still into right paths, and keep me from wandering or straying from thee, or falling into mischief. With thy counsel; partly, by thy gracious providence, executing thy purpose of mercy to me, and watching over me; partly, by thy word, which thou wilt open mine eyes to understand, as Psalms 119:18; and principally, by thy Holy Spirit, sanctifying and directing me in the whole course of my life. Receive me to glory; either,
1. Advance me to honour here. Or rather,
2. Translate me to everlasting glory in heaven. For,
1. Thus God doth for his people most constantly and certainly, whilst all the occurrences of the present life do happen indifferently to good and bad; which was the common observation of Job, and David, and Solomon, and other holy men of God in Scripture.
2. This is far more considerable than the former, and the more satisfactory relief against the present prosperity of the wicked, and the afflictions of good men.
3. This future glory is that mystery which was to be learned only in God's sanctuary, Psalms 73:17.
4. As the destruction of the wicked, mentioned Psalms 73:18-20, looks beyond this life, so doth the glory of God's people.
