1. _He saves them._ Often in outward troubles they become the charge
and care of His providence (Zeph. ii. 3). How wonderfully was Moses
saved from the strivings and rebellions of the people! Leaving his
vindication in the hands of the Great Judge, God took up his cause;
and when the whole camp was against him, God delivered him. How
wonderfully was Joseph delivered from the pit and the prison, and
Jeremiah in the siege! But always are they saved from
soul-destruction. "Saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation."
2. _He beautifies them._ "He will beautify the meek with salvation."
By the robe of righteousness, the inward adorning of the soul in
every virtue, by the special manifestation of His mercy when most
needed (chap. lxi. 3), by giving them that esteem and commanding
influence which often attracts and impresses their fellow-men. 3. _He
makes it appear that He delights in them._ "The Lord taketh pleasure
in His people."
