“An exhortation to fear God. Let us acknowledge God’s power and goodness in what he did for Israel, applying it to that much greater work of wonder, our redemption by Christ; and encourage ourselves and others to trust in God in the greatest straits. When Christ comes for the salvation of his people, he redeems them from the power of sin and Satan, separates them from an ungodly world, forms them to be his people, and becomes their King. There is no sea, no Jordan, so deep, so broad; but, when God’s time is come, it shall be divided and driven back. Apply this to the planting of the Christian church in the world. What ailed Satan and his idolatries, that they trembled as they did? But especially apply it to the work of grace in the heart. What turns the stream in a regenerate soul? What affects the lusts and corruptions, that they fly back; that prejudices are removed, and the whole man becomes new?
It is at the Presence of God’s Spirit. At the Presence of the Lord, not only mountains, but the earth itself may well tremble, since it has lain under a curse for man’s sin. As the Israelites were protected, so they were provided for by miracles; such was that fountain of waters into which the flinty rock was turned, and that rock was Christ. The Son of God, the Rock of Ages, gave himself to death, to open a fountain to wash away sins, and to supply believers with waters of life and consolation; and they need not fear that any blessing is too great to expect from his love. But let sinners fear before their just and holy Judge. Let us now prepare to meet our God, that we may have boldness before him at his coming.
Glory to be ascribed to God, by trusting in him and praising him. Let no opinion of our own merits have any place in our prayers or in our praises. All the good we do, is done by the power of his grace; and all the good we have, is the gift of his mere mercy, and he must have all the praise. Are we in pursuit of any mercy, and wrestling with God for it, we must take encouragement in prayer from God only. Lord, do so for us; not that we may have the credit and comfort of it, but that thy mercy and truth may have the glory of it. The heathen gods are senseless things. They are the works of men’s hands: the painter, the carver, the statuary, can put no life into them, therefore no sense.
The psalmist hence shows the folly of the worshippers of idols. It is folly to trust in dead images, but it is wisdom to trust in the living God, for he is a help and a shield to those that trust in him. Wherever there is right fear of God, there may be cheerful faith in him; those who reverence his word, may rely upon it. He is ever found faithful. The greatest need his blessing, and it shall not be denied to the meanest that fear him. God’s blessing gives an increase, especially in spiritual blessings, And the Lord is to be praised, his goodness is large, for he has given the earth to the children of men for their use.
The souls of the faithful, after they are delivered from the burdens of the flesh, are still praising him; but the dead body cannot praise God. Death puts an end to our glorifying him in this world of trial and conflict. Others are dead, and an end is thereby put to their service, therefore we will seek to do the more for God. We will not only do it ourselves, but will engage others to do it; to praise him when we are gone.
Lord, you are the only object for faith and love. Help us to praise You while living and when dying, that Your Name may be the first and last upon our lips: and let the sweet savour of Your Name refresh our souls forever.
The psalmist declares his love to the Lord; His desire to be thankful. We have many reasons for loving the Lord, but are most affected by his loving-kindness when relieved out of deep distress. When a poor sinner is awakened to a sense of his state, and fears that he must soon sink under the just wrath of God, then he finds trouble and sorrow. But let all such call upon the Lord to deliver their souls, and they will find him gracious and true to his promise. Neither ignorance nor guilt will hinder their salvation, when they put their trust in the Lord.
Let us all speak of God as we have found him; and have we ever found him otherwise than just and good? It is of his mercies that we are not consumed. Let those who labour and are heavy laden come to him, that they may find rest to their souls; and if at all drawn from their rest, let them haste to return, remembering how bountifully the Lord has dealt with them. We should deem ourselves bound to walk as in His Presence.
It is a great mercy to be kept from being swallowed up with over-much sorrow. It is a great mercy for God to hold us by the right hand, so that we are not overcome and overthrown by a temptation. But when we enter the heavenly rest, deliverance from sin and sorrow will be complete; we shall behold the glory of the Lord, and walk in His Presence with delight we cannot now conceive.
When troubled, we do best to hold our peace, for we are apt to speak unadvisedly. Yet there may be true faith where there are workings of unbelief; but then faith will prevail; and being humbled for our distrust of God’s word, we shall experience his faithfulness to it. What can the pardoned sinner, or what can those who have been delivered from trouble or distress render to the Lord for his benefits? We cannot in any way profit him.
Our best is unworthy of his acceptance; yet we ought to devote ourselves and all we have to his service. I will take the cup of salvation; I will offer the drink-offerings appointed by the law, in token of thankfulness to God, and rejoice in God’s goodness to me. I will receive the cup of affliction; that cup, that bitter cup, which is sanctified to the saints, so that to them it is a cup of salvation; it is a means of spiritual health. The cup of consolation; I will receive the benefits God bestows upon me, as from his hand, and taste his love in them, as the portion not only of mine inheritance in the other world, but of my cup in this.
Let others serve what masters they will, truly I am thy servant. Two ways men came to be servants. By birth: Lord, I was born in your house; I am the son of your handmaid, and therefore yours. It is a great mercy to be children of godly parents. By redemption: Lord, you have loosed my bonds, you have discharged me from them, therefore I am your servant. The bonds you have loosed shall tie me faster unto you. Doing good is sacrifice, with which God is well pleased; and this must accompany giving thanks to his Name. Why should we offer that to the Lord which cost us nothing? The psalmist will pay his vows now; he will not delay the payment publicly, not to make a boast, but to show he is not ashamed of God’s service, and to invite others to join him. Such are true saints of God, in whose lives and deaths he will be glorified.
ALL PEOPLE CALLED UPON TO PRAISE GOD. HERE IS A SOLEMN CALL TO ALL NATIONS TO PRAISE THE LORD, and proper matter for that praise is suggested. We are soon weary of well-doing, if we keep not up the pious and devout affections with which the spiritual sacrifice of praise ought to be kindled and kept burning. This is a gospel psalm. The apostle, Romans 15:11, quotes it as a proof that the gospel was to be preached to the Gentile nations, and that it would be entertained by them. For many ages, in Judah only was God known, and his name praised; this call was not then given to any Gentiles. But the gospel of Christ is ordered to be preached to all nations, and by him, those that were far off are made near.
WE ARE AMONG THE PERSONS TO WHOM THE HOLY SPIRIT HERE SPEAKS, WHOM HE CALLS UPON TO JOIN HIS ANCIENT PEOPLE IN PRAISING THE LORD. GRACE HAS THUS ABOUNDED TO MILLIONS OF PERISHING SINNERS. LET US THEN, LISTEN TO THE OFFERS OF THE GRACE OF GOD, AND PRAY FOR THAT TIME WHEN ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL SHOW FORTH HIS PRAISES. AND LET US BLESS GOD FOR THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF GOSPEL GRACE.”
