It was the same as that which, many centuries after him, was expressed by the inspired pens of two of his most excellent royal descendants, namely:
1. "Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." (Psalm 37:3).
2. Wait on the Lord and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it." (v. 34).
3. "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass." (v. 4, 5.)
4. "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him." (v. 7).
5. "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Prov. 3:6).
6. "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established." (Prov. 16:3).
