2. There is in the original the idea
of “laying up” counsels
in his heart, as if his devices had become innumerable but unavailing. In this
we have often been like David, for we have considered and reconsidered day
after day, but have not discovered the happy device by which to escape from our
trouble. Ruminating upon trouble is bitter work. How long shall mine enemybe exalted over me? This is like wormwood in the gall, to see the wicked
enemy exalting while our soul is bowed down within us. It quite breaks down our
patience; therefore let us make it one chief argument in our plea with mercy.
