Look at these words in reference —

I. TO DAVID. He wrote the Psalm. It expresses —

1. Wonder — that God should have chosen him. God acts as a sovereign, choosing whom He will.

2. Care — for God had been very mindful of him.

II. TO CHRIST. He is the grand sum and substance of the Psalms. And here we have —

1. Wonder; for how wonderful is Christ.

2. Care — God took care of Him.

III. TO SAINTS. This their language. It is that of —

1. Depreciation; for how little and how unworthy are they.

2. Acknowledgment; for God hath been mindful of His people.

3. Observation: What is God in His nature, covenant, person? And what is man, by nature, fallen, renewed?

4. Inference: That as God is mindful of you, you are to be mindful of God. Be consoled. Maintain communion. Look on to the eternal future.

(Edward Andrews, LL. D.)
