6. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time whenthou mayest be found. If the psalmist means that
on account of God’s mercy others would become hopeful, his witness is
true. Remarkable answers to prayer very much quicken the prayerfulness of other
godly persons. Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nighunto him. The floods will come, and the waves will rage, and toss
themselves like Ariantic billows. David was probably most familiar with those
great land-floods which fill up, with rushing torrents, the beds of rivers
which at other times are almost dry: these overflowing waters often did great
damage, and, as in the case of the Kishon, were sufficient to sweep away whole
armies. From sudden and overwhelming disasters thus set forth in metaphor the
true suppliant will certainly be held secure. He who is saved from sin has no
need to fear anything else.
