6. In my prosperity. When all his foes were
quiet, and his rebellious son dead and buried, then was the time of peril. Many
a vessel founders in a calm. No temptation is so bad as tranquility. I said,I shall never be moved. Ah! David, you said more than was wise to say, or
even to think, for God has founded the world upon the floods, to show us what a
poor, inconstant world it is. Prosperity had evidently turned the psalmist’s
head, or he would not have been so self-confident. He stood by grace, and yet
forgot himself, and so met with a fall.
