John Trapp on Job 29:3

Verſe 3. When his candle ſhined upon my head] When I was apparently bleſſed by him, and all went haile well with me. The Sun ſmot me not by day, nor the Moon by night, Pſal. 121.6. but both ſeemed to be made, and to make for me. Nay, more; the ſweet ſunſhine of Gods loving countenance was diſplayed upon me, which is not like the winter-ſun, that caſts a goodly countenance when it ſhines, but gives little comfort and heat. Job had both counſel and comfort from God; and that when other men were to ſeek of both: for,

By his light I walked through darkneſs] Without the leaſt fear of thoſe evils and miſeries, that put others into very great diſtemper. So Noah was—Mediis tranquillus in undis. Abraham ſtands upon the Hill, and ſeeth the Cities of the Plain burning. David can walk (not ſtep,) through (not croſs,) the valley (not a dark entry.) of the ſhadow of death (the darkeſt ſide of death,) and not fear (though he ſhould go back again the ſame way.) And why? for thou art with me, ſaith he, thy rod and thy ſtaffe they comfort me, Pſal. 23.4.
