4. The sorrow of death compassed me. Death
like a cruel conqueror seemed to twist round about him the cords of pain. He
was environed and threatened with deaths of the most appalling sort. Sad plight
for the man after God’s own heart, but thus it is that Jehovah dealeth with his
sons. The floods of ungodly men made me afraid. Torrents of ungodliness
threatened to swamp all religion, and to hurry away the godly man’s hope as a
thing to be scorned and despised; so far was this threat fulfilled, that even
the hero who slew Goliath began to be afraid. He who pens these lines has known
better than most men what this verse means, and feels inclined to weep, and yet
to sing, while he writes upon a text so descriptive of his own experience.
Learn from our experience to trust in the Lord Jehovah, who forsaketh not his
chosen.
