Psalms 132:1. LORD, (or, Jehovah,) remember David, and all his afflictions;
We cannot come before God in our own name; so what a mercy it is that we have a good name to plead! You and I do not approach the Lord in the name of any saint or holy man; we plead the name of "great David’s greater Son," and with the utmost emphasis can we say, "Lord, remember Jesus, and all his afflictions, - his griefs and sorrows on our behalf." This was a most proper prayer, however, as it stands, from those who belonged to David’s race; they pleaded the name of him with whom God had entered into covenant on the behalf of all his seed: "Lord, remember David, and all his trouble, - his trouble which he took about thy house, and about thine ark."
