7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy righthand. Terribly may the plague rage among people; yet such as this psalm
speaks of survive the scythe of death. It shall not come nigh thee. It
will be so near as to be at your side, and yet not near enough to touch you.
How true is this of the plague of church is wasted, the very life of religion
decays, but in the same place and time, in fellowship with God, the believer
renews his youth, and his soul knows no sickness. In a measure this is also
true of physical evil; the Lord still puts a difference between Israel and
Egypt in the day of his plagues.
