Description
Pridham on the Psalms
The value of the Psalms has been acknowledged by the Church of God in every age. That their full prophetic meaning has not always been perceived, even by those who gathered largely from them of those endless consolations that are given us in Christ, may easily be allowed. But the genuine believer has not failed at all times to appreciate, in some degree, their wondrous adaptation to the varied spiritual necessities of the generation of God`s children, while accomplishing their day of faith and patience here below.
It is well known to all, that very many of the Psalms were written by David, and to a certain extent are expressive of his actual experiences. By using thus the personal emotions of His chosen instrument as the vehicle of His own Divine utterance, the Spirit of Christ has shaped His gracious speech in perfect sympathy with all varieties of spiritual feeling in His people. Whether in heaviness through manifold temptations, or moving in tranquil peace and settlement of soul, along the smoother passages of pilgrim life; while watching, circumspectly and with prayer, against insidious snares of evil in a a world which lieth in the wicked one;or when filled with gladness and a more abundant flow of thanksgiving and praise, because of some worthier perception of the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, the partaker of the heavenly calling cannot look vainly in the Psalms for fitting language to express the secret of his soul.
