 Thus in the midst of evil he discerns the mercy of the Lord, to find that it is greater than man’s evil, “The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy.” (Psalm 119:57-64: Division 8 (Cheth) by H. Smith)
 And here the heart is able to turn round and, when all the evil had pressed upon it, yet see mercy. And so it is: evil may rise up like a flood, but the Lord is always above it; and when the heart by faith realizes that, and the will is bowed as to it all, if it is then comforted by the thought of God's judgments, it finds the constant exposition of His mercy now, and seeks in peace to be led in His ways. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 119:25-72 by J.N. Darby)
