39. Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant. The dispensations of providence looked as if there had been a
disannulling of the sacred compact, though indeed it was not so. Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. The king had been subject
to such sorrow and shame that his diadem had been as it were taken from his
head, dashed on the earth, and rolled in the mire. He was a theocratic monarch,
and the Lord, who gave him his crown, took it from him and treated it with
contempt—at least so it seemed. In these sad days also we may utter the same
plaint, for Jesus is not acknowledged in many of the churches.
