J. BLESS the Lord, o my soul, and oil
that II within me bless His holy name. 4"
One has called this Psalm of David
when carried out of himself up to heaven
g "I3less the Lord o my soul, and for
get not all His benefits" Consider how
great things he hath done for you q Sam
xii, 24), but think chiefly of the gift of His
Son and all things that are yours in Him
(JohR ill., 10. Rom. viii 49, Then say
with jeremiah even in darkest days, ''rhe
Lord is my portion, saith my soul"
8. WHO fargiveth all thine impurities;
who healeth all thy diseases" Ha7ing re-
ceived JesRs Christ, the Lord, as our own
personal Saviour, it is our privilege to
know that we have the forgiveness of all
our sins, and shall in due time have body
that disease and death shall never touch
(Eph |, 6, I; John ii, III Isa xiii, IS;
Phil. Iii, 20, 81; | John iii, 2; Rom. viii, $50.
4. WHO retleemeth thy life from de-
struction, who crOwneth thee with loving
kindness and tender mercies" See In Job
xxxiii, 1870 how many things God does to
deliver us from going down to the pit. He
is not willing that any should perish, and
His mercies are new unto us every morn
ing Q1 Pet. iii, 8; Lam. iii, %, 23).
D. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good
things; 80 that thy youth is renewed like
the eagles Here is the way of perpetual
freshness, like the tree of Ps j. 3; Jer. xvii,
8. And here 10 also the only true satisfac-
tion Ops. xXxvi, 8; lXv, 4; evil. 0; Dent
xxxiii, 49,
g. THE Lord executeth righteousness
and Judgment for all that are oppressed"
David could testify as to Gods dealings
with himself, for he had learned to leave
all his affairs to God q Sam xxx. 6; II
Sam. xvi l2). He also thought of Gods
deliverance of Israel from the oppression
Of Egypt.
T. "He made known His ways unto
Moses, His acts unto the children of Is
rael. Al could see His acts, but only those
near to Him rs Moses could understand
His ways. The secret OF the Lord is with
them that fear Him, and He will show
them His covenant (Ps. XIV, l4)
g. THE Lord Is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and plenteous in mercy"
See His name as proclaimed to Moses in
FIX, xxxiv, 6, 81 and think of Jesus Christ
as God manifest In the flesh, full of grace
and truth Il Tim. iii, IS, John |, l4). Paul
says that ia his case the gwlce OF God was
exceeding abundant Il Tim. j. IA, 15).
g. "He will not always chide neither
will He keep His anger forever" See Isa
