Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh us to scorn, says the Psalmist, v. 5. and 6. whereupon according to his usual custom he addresses himself to Almighty God for Relief and Succour, Hear O thou shepheard of Israel, says he, v. 1. stir up thy strength and come help and us, verse 2. How long wilt thou be angry with thy people that pray, vers. 4. and to mention no more of his pathetical Supplications, no less than three times in this short Psalm, which adds extremely not only to the fervency,
