We are never brought so low, so near to death, but God can raise us up. If he has saved us from spiritual and eternal death, we may thence hope, that in all our distresses he will be a very present help to us. The overruling providence of God frequently so orders it, that persecutors and oppressors are brought to ruin by the projects they formed to destroy the people of God. Drunkards kill themselves; prodigals beggar themselves; the contentious bring mischief upon themselves: thus men's sins may be read in their punishment, and it becomes plain to all, that the destruction of sinners is of themselves. All wickedness came originally with the wicked one from hell; and those who continue in sin, must go to that place of torment. The true state, both of nations and of individuals, may be correctly estimated by this one rule, whether in their doings they remember or forget God. David encourages the people of God to wait for his salvation, though it should be long deferred. God will make it appear that he never did forget them: it is not possible he should. Strange that man, dust in his and about him, should yet need some sharp affliction, some severe visitation from God, to bring him to the knowledge of himself, and make him feel who and what he is.Jump to Previous Afflicted Age Alway Always Crushed Expectation Forever Forgotten Help Hope Hopes Humble Lost Meek Need Needy Perish PoorJump to Next Afflicted Age Alway Always Crushed Expectation Forever Forgotten Help Hope Hopes Humble Lost Meek Need Needy Perish PoorLinks Psalm 9:18 NIVPsalm 9:18 NLT Psalm 9:18 ESV Psalm 9:18 NASB Psalm 9:18 KJV Psalm 9:18 Bible Apps Psalm 9:18 Biblia Paralela Psalm 9:18 Chinese Bible Psalm 9:18 French Bible Psalm 9:18 German Bible Alphabetical: afflicted always be But ever For forever forgotten hope needy nor not of perish the will OT Poetry: Psalm 9:18 For the needy shall not always be (Psalm Ps Psa.)
