Psalms 142:3. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path.
Many of the Lord’s saints know the meaning of that sentence: "My spirit was overwhelmed within me." They are like a vessel that has sunk in the sea, and is completely covered by the waves. David was in such a plight as that, he did not know his own whereabouts, but here was the mercy, "Then thou knewest my path." It is much better that God should know our path than that we should know it ourselves, for we may know it, and be driven to despair by our knowledge; but God’s knowledge of it moves him to uphold us in it, or to deliver us out of it.
