Verses 1-9 - David flees to God for succour. But Christ alone could call on Heave to attest his uprightness in all things. All His works were wrought in righteousness; and the prince of this world found nothing whereo justly to accuse him. Yet for our sakes, submitting to be charged a guilty, he suffered all evils, but, being innocent, he triumphed ove them all. The plea is, "For the righteousGod trieth the hearts and the reins." He knows the secretwickedness of the wicked, and how to brin it to an end; he is witness to the secretsincerity of the just, an has ways of establishing it. When a man has made peace with God abou all his sins, upon the terms of grace and mercy, through the sacrific of the Mediator, he may, in comparison with his enemies, appeal to God's justice to decide.
