Psalms 91:8

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, &c. Without any terror or danger to thyself, and with a thankful reflection on God's goodness to thee; and see the reward of the wicked The just recompense of their sins, or the vengeance of God upon them. Observe well, reader, those that preserve their purity in times of general corruption, may trust God with their safety in times of general desolation. When multitudes die around us, though thereby we ought to be awakened to prepare for our own death, yet we ought not to be afraid with any amazement, nor make ourselves subject to bondage, as many do all their lifetime, through fear of death. The sprinkling of blood secured the firstborn of Israel, when thousands fell.
