Psalms27:6

Verſ. 6. And now ſhall mine head bee lifted up] See Pſal. 3.4. and take notice how clear David was upon his prayer, of the poſſeſſion of the promiſe, that hee ſhould both get the better of his enemies, and injoy the publick ordinances.

Sacrifices of joy] Heb. Of loud ſhouting, hoc eſt ſacrificia cum canticis, ſaith R. Solomon. Sacrifices with triumph, alarm, or jubilation to the Lord; not with prophane triumphings, as the manner of the World is; as if by mine own ſtrength or prudence I had gotten the victory. So at the battel of Agincourt when our Henry the fifth had beaten the French, the honour of the day was, by the Kings command,Speed. Daniel. aſcribed only to God. Hee would not ſuffer his broken Crown, or bruiſed armour to be born before him in ſhew; or any ballads to be ſet forth or ſung in his honour, &c.
