3. The happy poet resolves to invoke the Lord in joyful song, believing
that in all future conflicts his God would deal as well with him as in the
past. It is well to pray to God as to one who deserves to be praised, for then
we plead in a happy and confident manner. If I feel that I can and do bless the
Lord for all his past goodness, I am bold to ask great things of him. That word
so has much in it. To be saved singing is to be saved indeed. Many are
saved mourning and doubting; but David had such faith that he could fight
singing, and win the battle with a song still on his lips. How happy a thing to
receive fresh mercy with a heart already sensible of mercy enjoyed, and to
anticipate new trials with a confidence based upon past experience of divine
love!
