Psalms27:10

Verſ. 10. When my Father and my Mother forſake mee] Or, For my Father and my Mother do forſake mee (that is, they are not able to help mee) but thou, &c. 1 Sam. 22.1, 3 There is an Ocean of love in a Parents heart toward their even untoward Children, as was in David toward Abſolom, after all his unnaturall miſcarriages; inſomuch as Joab upbraideth him with it, 2 Sam. 19.6. But all the mercies of all the Fathers and Mothers in the World put together, make not the tythe of Gods mercy toward his Children, Iſa. 41.15.

Then the Lord will take mee up] Heb. will gather mee, that is, take mee into his care and keeping. In the Civill law we find proviſion made for outcaſts and friendleſſe perſons; ſome Hoſpitalls to entertain them, ſome liberties to comfort, and compenſate their trouble. Tis ſure, that in God the forlorn and fatherleſſe find mercy, Hoſ. 14.3. See 1 Sam. 22.2, 3. Joh. 9.35. Jer. 30.17. In the Iſraelites marching thorow the Wilderneſſe, at the fourth alarm aroſe the ſtandard of Dan, Aſher, and Nephthali; and to theſe was committed the care of gathering together the lame, feeble, and ſick, and to look that nothing was left behind; whence they were called the gathering hoaſt, Joſh. 6.9. Unto this, ſome think David here alludeth.
