Psalms 111

REFLECTIONS UPON PSALM CXI.—Praising of God ought to be hearty, candid, and avowed: and they who inculcate it upon others should carefully exemplify it in their own practice. How extensive are the grounds of it! A God infinitely gracious and faithful, ever mindful of his new covenant and every promise thereof; holy and reverend in nature and in name. His works are unsearchably glorious, memorable, powerful, just and true; and all of them communicating provision and riches to them that fear him. Fixed, everlasting, true, and candid, are all his counsels and words, exactly conformable to his righteous nature, and must be obeyed in simplicity by them that serve him. Everlasting, ordered in all things and sure, is his covenant, and all the redemption it prepares and communicates to men. And they are the only wise persons, who fear him and keep his commandments; everlasting shall be their honour and reward
