Oh Lord thou hast said

David prayer is full of the breathless of devout affection on toward God. He had low thoughts of his own merits all we have must be look upon us divine gifts. He speaks very highly and honorably of the Lord's favor to him considering what character and condition of a man is, We 'may be amazed that God should done with him as he does. The promise of Christ includes all, if the Lord God be ours, what more can we ask or think of (Ephesians 3:20). He knows us better than we know ourselves; therefore let us be satisfied with what he has for us. What can we say more for us in His promised? David ascribes all to the free grace of God, both the great things. He has done for Him and the great things . All was for his words sake, that is for the sake of Christ eternal word. Many, when they go to prayed, have theirs heart to seek, but Davids heart was found, that is it was fixed but gathered in from wondering entirely engaged to the duty and employed in it. That prayer which is from the tongue only will not pleases God, it must be found in the heart that must be lifted up and poured out before God. He builds his faith and hope to speed upon the sureness of God promise. David pray for the performance of the promise with God saying and doing are not two things as they often are with men. God will do as he hath said, the promise of God are not make to us by name as to David, but they belong to all who believe in Jesus Christ, and plead them in His name oh Lord "thou has said." And now, O Lord God the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, established it for ever, and do as "thou hast said." David well know that all the promises to him and family were conditional; and therefore he prayed that they may be fullfilled. He posterity did not walk with God, and therefore they were driven from the throne. It was taken  from them by the neighboring nation, and it is now in the hands of the Mohammedans..  All the promises have failed to David and his natural posterity and to Christ and his  spiritual seed alone are they fulfilled. Had David posterity been faithful they would according to the promises of God has been sitting on the Israelite this day.
