14. But I trusted in thee, O Lord. Notwithstanding all afflicting circumstances, David’s faith was not
turned aside from its object. I said, Thou art my God. He proclaimed
aloud his determined allegiance to Jehovah. He was no fair-weather believer; he
could hold his faith in a sharp frost, and wrap it about him as a garment
fitted to keep out all the ills of time. He who can say what David did need not
envy Cicero in his eloquence: Thou art my God has more sweetness in it
than any other utterance which human speech can frame. Note that this adhesive
faith is here mentioned as an argument with God to honor his own promise by
sending a speedy deliverance.
