<p id="Ps131_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',131,'1-3');">Psa 131:1-3</a>.
|
|
<p>This Psalm, while expressive of David's pious feelings on assuming the royal office, teaches the humble, submissive temper of a true child of God.
|
|
<p><b>1. eyes lofty</b>—a sign of pride (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',18,27);">Psa 18:27</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>exercise myself</b>—literally, "walk in," of "meddle with."
|
|
<p id="Ps131_2"><b>2. Surely,</b> etc.—The form is that of an oath or strongest assertion. Submission is denoted by the figure of a weaned child. As the child weaned by his mother from the breast, so I still the motions of pride in me (<a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Mat',18,3,4);">Mat 18:3-4</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',11,8);">Isa 11:8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',28,9);">28:9</a>). Hebrew children were often not weaned till three years old.
|
|
<br><br><b>soul</b>—may be taken for desire, which gives a more definite sense, though one included in the idea conveyed by the usual meaning, <i>myself.</i>
