Psalms 69

REFLECTIONS UPON PSALM LXIX.—While I read these things, let me, with deep concern, by faith behold my Redeemer, charged in law with my sins, and bearing their punishment. Let me learn with patience to run the race of holy obedience, and of necessary trials, set before me, looking to Jesus as my pattern, and as the author and finisher of my faith. While I behold the tremendous severity of God’s judgments against his ancient people for rejecting and murdering his Son, let me not be high-minded, but fear.—Let me behold the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who though he was rich, yet for our sakes became poor, that we through his poverty might be made rich.—And let me be a living and lively member of that church which is founded in his blood, and blessed in him with all spiritual blessings
