29. But I am poor and sorrowful. The
psalmist was afflicted very much, but his faith was in God. The poor in spirit
and mourners are both blessed under the Gospel, so that there is a double
reason for the Lord to smile on his suppliant. Let thy salvation, O God, setme up on high. How fully has this been answered in our great Master’s case,
for he not only escaped his foes personally, but he had become the author of
eternal salvation to all who obey him, and this continues to glorify him more
and more. O poor and sorrowful ones, lift up your heads, for as with your Lord
so will it be with you. You are trodden down today, but you will ride upon the
high places of the earth ere long, and even now you are raised up together, and
made to sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus.
