Psalm 146

Psalm cxlvi. It is iliof trusting the allenduring, ever-living Lord that is spoken of.” Put

not your trust in man:”’ Ins breath goes forth: all his thoughts arc gone. Not so with God. Not only He lias power, but lie is faithful — keeps truth for ever. And again, His tender mercy is brought out for the comfort of those that are in sorrow. The oppn the hungry, the prisoners come before Him, arc the objects of His care and power j the blind He gives eyes to, raises up those that arc bowed down. All this is comfort of heart to those that are in sorrow and trial, thai are oppressed. But farther, He loves the righteous, so that men, whatever comes upon them, can trust in Him. The stranger whose heart may feel sick where he is, the fatherless or widow whose sustaining props are gone, He preserves and relieves. The heart of the righteous Las its sure confidence, of the bowed down and these deprived of earthly stay, the sure hand of a God who cares for them, because they are such. It is n hat God always is.
