Psalms61:7
Verſ. 7. He ſhall abide before God for ever] Or, He ſhall ſit, viz. upon the Throne a long while in his perſon; but for ever in his Son Chriſt, Luke 1.32. and this affordeth ſweet and ſingular comfort to the whole Church, and each Member thereof; for as much as the dignity of a King cannot ſtand, unleſs his Subjects bee in ſafety.
O prepare mercy and truth which may preſerve him] Hos duos cuſtodes adhibe quibus unis innitatur. Let theſe two (thy Mercy and thy Truth) be the ſupporters of his Throne, let them be of his Life-guard, let them be his due, and prepared portion, as the Hebrew word Man here uſed ſignifieth. Some underſtand the words thus,Junius Furniſh the King with theſe two Vertues, Clemency and Truth, that thereby his Throne may be eſtabliſhed. See Prov. 20.28. & 29.14.
