The Psalms: Faith and Distress

I think we shall find, all through the Psalms, two classes—one, the faith which looks to God, and trusts Him, and pleads for an answer in righteousness—and the second, the cry out of distress, and in distress of heart under it, though the principle of faith be in the cry. I remember attributing the former more to Christ, the latter to the Remnant. Now in the spirit and character of these this is true, but the exclusive distinction of them to one or the other is wrong. They are all the Remnant, only in two different aspects—only one more fully and directly the Spirit of Christ; though in Gethsemane He did cry in distress to God.
