Prayer for Mercies Vouchsafed to the Good
Homilist
Psalm 119:132-135
Look you on me, and be merciful to me, as you use to do to those that love your name.…


I. DIRECTION IN THE RIGHT WAY. We are all travellers on an unknown road, and we want direction. Order my footsteps.

II. DEFENCE AGAINST OUR FOES. The dominion of evil is the greatest curse. There is a danger of having this dominion established. God alone can prevent it.

III. DELIVERANCE AGAINST MALIGNANT FOES. Man oppresses man everywhere. Who but God can deliver from the oppression under which humanity groans?

IV. THE FAVOUR OF ALMIGHTY GOD (ver. 135). God's approval is man's heaven.

(Homilist.)
