Psalms 96

REFLECTIONS UPON PSALM XCVI.—Since to us Gentiles Jesus Christ and his Lord of salvation are now come, let us, in songs ever fresh, ever cordial, publish the glories of his grace, and the wonders of his redeeming mercy, power, holiness, and majesty. Let us acknowledge him as our saving Sovereign, present ourselves to him as living sacrifices, and in the pure ordinances of his grace worship him with pure hearts, and in a reverent and holy manner. Let us rejoice that his kingdom has been, is, and will be, established among the Gentiles on earth. Let us, with joy, hope for these latter days, in which Satan shall be bound, and all the kingdoms on earth subjected to the righteous and merciful government of our Redeemer. And let us, with more exalted joy, expect his coming in the clouds, with power and great glory, to judge, and finally decide, the eternal state of men and angels
