 {v.7-8} This is the blessed man of the first psalm—the man whose food is the word of God, whose confidence is in the Lord alone—the perfect example of which is our Lord Himself....When all goes well it is easy to deceive ourselves and think that we are trusting in the Lord, when in reality we are resting on an arm of flesh. The time of trial proves where our confidence really is. “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” (Chapter 8 by H.A. Ironside)
