PSALM XCV.

HIS is a proper pfalm for public worship, and therefore we always begin our daily fervice with it. Believers are here reminded to call upon one another to join in finging the praises of Jehovah the rock of their falvation; in the Hebrew it is, Jehovah the rock their Jefus: And the arguments used to raife their thankfulness to him are taken from his greatnefs in creating all things, and from his goodness to his redeemed: For he is their Maker, by and in whom they are new created; their covenant God, who has all his people under his pas toral care, being engaged to keep, to feed, and to guide them, that they may not harden their hearts, nor fall fhort of his promifed reft.

O happy believer, to whom Jefus ftands thus related : May thy heart be now in tune to join in his praises, Truft in him, and be not afraid. Exercife thy faith in glorifying him, that he may increase it. Rejoice in his holy name, that thy joy in him may grow and abound. Unite thy voice with the church, and fing with courage, as thou art here commanded, that we may teach and admonish one another in this heavenly fong, and that our Jefus may be exalted in the midít of us. This fhould be the end of all our church meetings: And the general affembly and church of the first born will meet to carry on the fame fubject of praife. Thou wilt never on earth be more like them, than while thou art afcribing to him all the glory of thy falvation. Do thy utmoft: Sing in the highest
