Psalms33:18

18. Behold the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him : upon them that hope in his mercy .

Whosoever therefore would have Safety and Deliverance, must seek and expect it only from the watchful Eye, and Almighty hand and mercy of God.

These are the chief Object of his Care and Favour.

That place their Hope and Trust, and Happiness not in any Creature, but only in God and in his Mercy, and Blessings. The Conjunction and Order of these two qualifications of the Person, whom God careth for is observable here, they must be such as fear God, and so make Conscience of keeping his Commands, Eccles. 12. 13. and then they may and must hope in, Or, relye upon his Mercy, for their Safety and Happiness.

Marginal references: Job 36. [illegible: 1+ letters]: Psal. 34. 15: 1, pet. 3. 12.
