Psalms 32:10

Psalms 32:10. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked.

It is all merriment with them now; they "count it one of the wisest things, to drive dull care away." But hark to this knell of all their joys, "Many sorrows shall be to the wicked." If not today, or tomorrow, yet by-and-by, and in that day, it shall be so. All the future is dark to the wicked; the further they go, the worse they will grow.

Psalms 32:10. But he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

"He that trusteth in the Lord," - he is the very opposite of the wicked. Do you trust in the Lord, my friend? If not, you will have to be put among the wicked, for there are only two sorts of people in the world, - the wicked, and those that trust in the Lord. If you are not a believer in Christ, you must go with the other company. "He that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about." Mercy shall go all round him, before him, behind him, above him, beneath him, within him, and around him everywhere. As you see the moon sometimes with a halo around it, so shall you be; you shall have brightness within and round about you, mercy shall compass you about.
