PSAL. XLIX.
This Psalm is Penned upon the same Occasion, with Psal. 39. and 73. to wit, upon the Contemplation of the afflictions of Gods People, and of the Pro∣sperity and Glory of ungodly Men. The design is to justifie Gods Providence in this dark Dispensa∣tion, and to shew that all things being Consider∣ed; good Men have no cause for immoderate Dejecti∣on of Spirit, nor wicked Men for glorying in their present Felicities.
