PSAL. III.

WITH the thirty second verse of this chapter, even with these words of it, And when David came to the top of the Mount where he worshipped God, read the third Psalm, made, as the title telleth, by David when he fled from his son Absalom, and poured out, as may well be supposed in this Prayer that he made on the top of Mount Olivet, where he worshipped God: He complain∣eth sadly in it of the multitude of his enemies that were against him, and of the multitude of his false friends, that durst not be for him; but yet assures himself of deliverance, and of his enemies destruction; and prophesieth of the very manner of the end of Absalom, and Achitophel, if you will take these words in the very letter, Thou hast smitten mine enemies on the cheek bone, Achitophel with the knot of the rope, and Absalom with the bough of the Oak: unless he allude to Samsons Victory with the jaw bone, and foresee that by small means, as that was, the Lord will bring him a great deliverance: Compare Christs go∣ing up to mount Olivet, and there praying in the day of his bitterness with this type of David.
