Psalms 41:1

CONTENTS

Here is another gospel Psalm, and from our Lord's own application of a verse in it to himself, and his own circumstances, we are sweetly taught to whom it belongs. The contents are the Lord's attention over him, and man's treachery against him.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Psalms 41:1

Reader, where shall we look, or to whom direct our inquiry, to discover of whom the Prophet here speaks, unless we look to the blessed and merciful Jesus? He did indeed consider the poor, even our poor, lost, ruined and undone nature, when he came to seek and save that which was lost. He remembered us (as the hymn tenderly expresses it) in our low estate, for his mercy endureth forever; Psalms 136:23. And Jehovah delivered him who is fairer than the children of men? Grace is poured into his lips, therefore God hath blessed him forever. Psalms 45:2.
