His house is founded on a rock . The avenger of blood shall not be able to overtake me. And being encompassed with an impregnable wall, I shall feel myself encompassed with songs of deliverance-I shall know that I am safe . These are probably the Lord 's words to David . Seeing thou art now sensible of the mercy thou hast received from me, and art purposing to live to my glory , I will give thee all the assistance requisite.
Every wicked man is a miserable man.
God has wedded sin and misery as strongly as he has holiness and happiness . Such a person is both safe and happy . Let every righteous soul rejoice and glory , but let it be in the Lord . Probably this verse belongs to the next Psalm, and was originally its first verse. This Psalms is doctrinal, and shows the happiness of the man whose sin is pardoned, and who is himself restored to the favour and image of God .
