1;  David praises God for his all-seeing providence;
 17;  and for his infinite mercies.
 19;  He defies the wicked.
 23;  He prays for sincerity.

 * A.M. 2956.  B.C. 1048.  (Title.)  A Psalm.
   This Psalm is supposed to have been composed by David when
   made king of Israel; though some think it was written by him
   when accused of traitorous designs against Saul.  It is a most
   sublime ode on the wisdom, knowledge, presence, and justice of
   God:  the sentiments are grand, the style highly elevated, and
   the images various, beautiful, and impressive.

 * thou hast.
