HINTS FOR PASTORS AND LAYPERSONS
Verse 3. (first portion). -- The Sinner's Litany. The Saint's Entreaty.
Verse 3. (second portion). -- The world's contempt, the abundance of it, the reason of it, the bitterness of it, the comfort under it.
Verse 3,4. --
(b) Most undeserved. True religion injures no man, but seeks the good of all.
(c) Most profane. To reproach the people of God because they are his people is to reproach God himself.
(b) The plea: "For we are," etc. The reproaches of men are an encouragement to look for special help from God. The harp hung upon the willows sends forth its sweetest tones. The less it is in human hands the more freely it is played upon by the Spirit of God.
--G.R.
