Excerpt from Chastened but Not Killed: A Discourse Delivered on the Day of the National Fast, August 4th, 1864, in the Fourth Presbyterian Church, Albany "I laid me down and slept, I awaked: for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about." The titles prefixed to the Psalms, though not divinely inspired, may still be regarded as presenting a truthful account of the peculiar circumstances in the life of their respective authors that led to their composition. They are found in all the old Hebrew manuscripts, and were so highly esteemed by the Jews, that they called the few which are destitute of them - thirty-three in all - "Orphan Psalms." To the one from which my text is taken this morning, the title prefixed is, "A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son." A brief reference to that incident in the life of the Psalmist is therefore essential to its right understanding. There was a rebellion in Israel. A man nourished at the king's table, and himself a scion of royalty, sought to dethrone David, and to take the government into his own hands.
