6. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round aboutme. He is quite sure of it. Godly men of old prayed in faith, nothing
wavering, and spoke of the answer to their prayers as a certainty. David was by
faith so sure of a glorious victory over all those who beset him, that he
arranged in his own heart what he would do when his foes lay all prostrate
before him; that arrangement was such as gratitude suggested. Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. That place for which he longed
in his conflict should see his thankful joy in his triumphant return. He does
not speak of jubilations to be offered in his palace, and feastings in his
banqueting halls, but holy mirth for so divine a deliverance. Yea, I willsing praises unto the Lord.
The believer when his prayer is heard must and will make his praise to be heard
also, and reserves his music for the Lord alone.
