Psalms 119:43

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

Ver. 43. And take not the word of truth utterly] Give me free utterance, "that in nothing I be ashamed; but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ may be magnified in my body," &c., Philippians 1:20. Despoil me not of my courage in a good cause, let not Satan rob me of that jewel: Ne auferas, id est ut spolium, ut Exodus 12:36 (Aben Ezra). I have read of a nobleman, who when he came into jeering company of great ones, would begin and own himself one of those they called Puritans, and so anticipated them.
