Psalm 41
Concise Complete
God's care for his people. (1-4) The treachery of David's enemies. (5-13)
Verses 1-4 The
people of God are not free from poverty, sickness, or outward affliction, but
the Lord will consider their case, and send due supplies. From his Lord's
example the believer learns to consider his poor and afflicted brethren. This
branch of godliness is usually recompensed with temporal blessings. But nothing
is so distressing to the contrite believer, as a fear or sense of the Divine
displeasure, or of sin in his heart. Sin is the sickness of the soul; pardoning
mercy heals it, renewing grace heals it, and for this spiritual healing we
should be more earnest than for bodily health.
Verses 5-13 We
complain, and justly, of the want of sincerity, and that there is scarcely any
true friendship to be found among men; but the former days were no better. One
particularly, in whom David had reposed great confidence, took part with his
enemies. And let us not think it strange, if we receive evil from those we
suppose to be friends. Have not we ourselves thus broken our words toward God?
We eat of his bread daily, yet lift up the heel against him. But though we may
not take pleasure in the fall of our enemies, we may take pleasure in the making
vain their designs. When we can discern the Lord's favour in any mercy, personal
or public, that doubles it. If the grace of God did not take constant care of
us, we should not be upheld. But let us, while on earth, give heartfelt assent
to those praises which the redeemed on earth and in heaven render to their God
and Saviour.
