Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

O L ORD , I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 5 Gracious is the L ORD , and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 6 The L ORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Many good interpreters understand it of that cup, that bitter cup, which is yet sanctified to the saints, so that to them it is a cup of salvation. 19 , This shall turn to my salvation; it is a means of spiritual health. David's sufferings were typical of Christ's, and we, in ours, have communion with his, and his cup was indeed a cup of salvation.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Two ways men came to be servants:-- First, by birth. "Lord, I was born in thy house; I am the son of thy handmaid, and therefore thine." It, is a great mercy to be the children of godly parents, as it obliges us to duty and is pleadable with God for mercy.
