6 Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Fill my heart with joy
when their grain and new wine abound.
when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, LORD,
make me dwell in safety.
for you alone, LORD,
make me dwell in safety.
G. Campbell Morgan (British Bible Scholar) points out that David finds safety in solitude with
God.
“The thought of the word alone
is ‘in loneliness,’ or as Rotherham renders it ‘in seclusion’;
and the word refers to the one going asleep. This is a glorious conception of
sleep. Jehovah gathers the trusting soul into a place of safety by taking it
away from all the things which trouble or harass . . . the tried and tired
child of His love is pavilioned in His peace.”
I have tried to locate the source of that wonderful quote by G. Campbell Morgan. Could you tell me where it is from?
