* Preparations for the removal of the ark. (1-24) The removal of
the ark. (25-29)
#1-24 Wise and good men may be guilty of oversights, which they
will correct, as soon as they are aware of them. David does not
try to justify what had been done amiss, nor to lay the blame on
others; but he owns himself guilty, with others, of not seeking
God in due order
18774
#25-29 It is good to notice the assistance of Divine Providence,
even in things which fall within the compass of our natural
powers; if God did not help us, we could not stir a step. If we
do our religious duties in any degree aright, we must own it was
God that helped us; had we been left to ourselves, we should
have been guilty of some fatal errors. And every thing in which
we engage, must be done in dependence on the mercy of God
through the sacrifice of the Redeemer.

* The solemnity with which the ark was fixed. (1-6) David's
psalm of praise. (7-36) Setting in order the worship of God.
(37-43)
#1-6 Though God's word and ordinances may be clouded and
eclipsed for a time, they shall shine out of obscurity. This was
but a tent, a humble dwelling, yet this was the tabernacle which
David, in his psalms, often speaks of with so much affection.
David showed himself generous to his subjects, as he had found
God gracious to him. Those whose hearts are enlarged with holy
joy, should show it by being open-handed.
18785
#7-36 Let God be glorified in our praises. Let others be edified
and taught, that strangers to him may be led to adore him. Let
us ourselves triumph and trust in God. Those that give glory to
God's name are allowed to glory in it. Let the everlasting
covenant be the great matter of our joy and praise. Be ye mindful
of his covenant. Let god's former mercies to his people of old,
be remembered by us with thankfulness to him. Show forth from day
to day his salvation, his promised salvation by Christ. We have
reason to celebrate that from day to day; for we daily receive
the benefit, and it is a subject that can never be exhausted. In
the midst of praises, we must not forget to pray for the
servants of God in distress.
