Psalms 119:132

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Ver. 132. Look thou upon me, &c.] Face about towards me, and give me a glimpse at least of thy grace; for full fruition I expect not in this present life. Brevis hora, parva mora.

As thou usest to do unto those, &c.] Common mercies satisfy not a saint; he must have peculiar favours, spiritual blessings in heavenly things, even the sure mercies of David. He pleads for a child's part.
