Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 55:22

Cast thy burden upon him in the same way that the ship in a storm casts her burden on the anchor, which anchor holds on to its sure fixing place. And to my mind, that is the more beautiful sense of the two —a sense which once entered into, may be followed out in these glorious verses:

And I see the good ship riding, all in a perilous road; The low reef booming on her lee; the swell of ocean poured Sea after sea, from stem to stern; the mainmast by the board; The bulwarks down; the rudder gone; the boats stove by the chains. But courage still, brave mariners, the ANCHOR yet remains: And he will flinch —no, never an inch —until ye pitch sky high; Then he moves his head, as if he said, "Fear nought; for here am I!" —J. M. Neale's Commentary.
