His mercy, too-how inconceivable, both in its extent and duration! There is not a sinner in the universe to whom it will not reach, provided it be sought in GodвЂ™s appointed way: nor shall it be withdrawn from any to whom, for ChristвЂ™s sake, it has been once imparted. It is not possible to have your minds too frequently or too intensely occupied with this mysterious subject. But O! how is it seen in the gift of his only-begotten Son for a lost and perishing world! Well may we say, вЂњWhat manner of love is this, wherewith the Father hath loved us!вЂќ Think of it, my Brethren: yea, dwell upon it day and night. His goodness-who can contemplate it, and not be filled with the profoundest admiration and gratitude? It is seen, wherever we turn our eyes. [The perfections of our God will afford us matter for praise to all eternity. вЂќ]ДЄdditional grounds for the performance of it.

But who sought you out in your wanderings? Who brought you home to the fold of Christ? Who feeds you yet daily in green pastures? Who protects you from all your enemies? Who is the one source of all that you enjoy? Can it in any measure be ascribed to yourselves? Have you wrought it by any power of your own? or have you merited that it should be wrought for you?

That we may present the contents of the psalm before you in an orderly way, we would observe that we have in it, Paul informs us, be considered, not as an exhortation only, but as a prophecy, that, in due season, the Gentiles, even to the remotest ends of the earth, shall вЂњsee the salvation of God. It is obviously addressed to the Gentiles, as much as to the Jews and may therefore, as St. In truth, the psalm before us, which is entitled вЂњA psalm of praise,вЂќ requires no particular discussion: it is merely a call to the whole world to render unto God the honour due unto his name.

IN discoursing upon short and insulated passages, we have scope for discussion upon whatever topic may come before us but, in taking a whole psalm for our subject, we can do little more than mark the spirit of it, together with its general import. For the Lord is good his mercy is everlasting and his truth endureth to all generations. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves: we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
