Psalms 71:7

There is a beautiful correspondence in this verse between the experience of the believer and his glorious Head. If David was made an outlaw, and hunted as a partridge upon the mountain; if David's Lord was for a sign everywhere spoken against; so is the follower. The prophet had said that Joshua the high priest, the type of Christ, and his fellows that sat before the Lord, were men wondered at; and the apostle follows up the same doctrine, when, speaking of the faithful, he saith, the world think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. 1 Samuel 26:20; Luke 2:34; Zechariah 3:8; 1 Peter 4:4.
