Psalms 91

REFLECTIONS UPON PSALM XCI.—While I bore contemplate Jesus Christ as the Father’s darling, protected, guarded, attended, heard in his prayers, honoured, and crowned with life and glory everlasting, let me with wonder behold the happiness of all the saints, who make God their refuge and delightful habitation; who know his name, set their love on him, and call on him. Secured against every disappointment and danger, distinguished in the providence of God, guarded by angels, delivered from, and victorious over, the devil, that fowler, dragon, and lion of hell, JEMOVAH attends them in their troubles, hears their prayers, and gives them answers of peace. He exalts them on Christ their Rock, and makes them to sit with him on his throne; honours them with the relations of children, kings, and priests, unto God, and decks them with imputed righteousness and imported grace. And, after preserving them in life according to their desire, he bestows upon them his unutterable blessedness above. May these things in Christ be the desire of my heart! 7 C
