Psalms62:8

Verſ. 8. Truſt in him at all times] As well in the fail of outward comforts, as in the abundance of them, truſt him without a pawn; truſt in a killing God, as Job did.

Pour out your hearts before him] ſc. In prayer, 1 Sam. 1.11. firſt, rent your hearts, ut effundatur peccatum, ſaith Kimchi, and then your them out as water, Larn. 2.19. not as Oyl, which ſticks to the ſides of the Veſſel that held it, but as water, that will out every drop: make a plain and full confeſſion of all your ſins in prayer, leſt God ſay to you of your ſins, as Samuel did to Jeſſe of his ſons, Are theſe all? See the practice hereof in thoſe penitent Iſraelites, 1 Sam. 7.6. and give not over the practice of Mortification, till you feel your hearts fall aſunder in your boſoms like drops of water. If iniquity be harboured there, prayer is obſtructed; and if it do break out, it will have the ſcent and ſavour of that iniquity upon it.

God is a refuge for us] A ſafe and ſure refuge; not as men who are a lye, verſ. 9. and were never true to thoſe that truſted them.
