Psalm 16:5-6 The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you maintain my lot.… It was the speech of Paulinus, when his city was taken by the barbarians, "Domine ne excrucier ob anrum et argentum," — Lord, let me not be troubled for my silver and gold which I have lost, for Thou art all things. As Noah, when the whole world was overwhelmed with water, had a fair epitome of it in the ark, having all sorts of beasts and fowls there; so he that in a deluge hath God to be his God hath the original of all mercies. He that enjoyeth the ocean may rejoice though some drops are taken from him. (George Swinnock.)
