Verses 6, 7. An assurance of the Saviour's love, the source of
unrivalled joy.
Verse 7. The believer's joys.
(1) Their source, "Thou;"
(2) Their season—even now— "Thou
hast;"
(3) Their position, "in my
heart;"
(4) Their excellence, "more than in
the time that their corn and their wine increased."
Another excellent theme suggests itself—
"The superiority of the joys of grace to the joys of earth;" or, "Two
sorts of prosperity—which is to be the more desired?"
Verse 8. The peace and safety of the good man. Joseph
Lathrop, D.D., 1805.
Verse 8. A bedchamber for believers, a vesper song to sing in
it, and a guard to keep the door.
Verse 8. The Christian's good night.
Verses 2 to 8. The means which a believer should use to
win the ungodly to Christ.
(1) Expostulation, verse 2.
(2) Instruction, verse 3.
(3) Exhortation, verses 4, 5.
(4) Testimony to the blessedness of true
religion as in verses 6, 7.
(5) Exemplification of that testimony by
the peace of faith, verse 8.
