Psalms34:6

Verſ. 6. This peer man cried] Meaning himſelf, to whom it ſeemeth he pointed the finger, or laid his hand on his heart, when he ſaid, This poor man, Hic vilis, et evium Paſtor, ſaith Theoderèt, this mean Shepherd not long ſince; but rather, This miſerable ſinner, who whilome raſhly ran ſuch an hazard, and ſo unworthily deported himſelf in the preſence of King Achiſh; this poor Soul, I ſay, cried, but ſilently and ſecretly, as Moſes did at the red Sea, as Nehemiah did in the preſence of the King of Perſia.

And the Lord] Who might better be called the poor mans King, than was James 4. King of Scotland.

Heard him, and delivered him out of all his troubles] And the like he will do for all that in like caſe, being poor in ſpirit, make their humble addreſſes unto him. It is good to communicate unto others our experiences. See the like done, Pſal. 116.6. Rom. 8.2. 1 Tim. 1.15.
