Psalms17:5
Let me observe David and learn to pray as he prayed, "Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not."
I. See his course. He speaks of his "goings." Religion does not allow a man to sit still. He speaks of his goings "in God's paths." These are threefold. (1). The path of his commands. (2). The path of his ordinances. (3). The path of his dispensations.
II. His concern respecting this course. It is the language of — (1). Conviction; (2). of apprehension; (3). of weakness; (4). of confidence. —William Jay.
