Both riches and honour come of thee, etc.] Whatever of either the children of men have is not owing to their merits, nor to their diligence and industry, and wise conduct, but to the providence of God, (<210911>Ecclesiastes 9:11 <197506>Psalm 75:6,7) so the gods with the Heathens are said f153 to be givers of riches: and thou reignest over all; govern the world by wisdom, and dispose all things in it for the best: in thine hand is power and might; to do whatsoever he pleaseth: and in thine hand it is to make great; in worldly things, and so in spiritual: and to give strength unto all; against their enemies, and to do the will and work of God; of all which David had had an experience.
