JOD.
With most peculiar reference to the ever-blessed Jesus must we read the opening of this portion. A body hast thou prepared me, was said by Christ when beholding the redemption work he came to perform. Hebrews 10:5, compared with Psalms 40:6. And in another scripture the same truth is expressed, only with a variation of words? My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Compare Psalms 139:15-16, with Luke 1:35. And how delightful is the succeeding verse in reference to the Lord's people; all in whom the Lord hath put his fear, which is the beginning of wisdom, must rejoice in Christ, the mercy promised, to whom all the faithful were looking with earnest expectation. Proverbs 9:10; Luke 2:25; Luke 2:25. The following verses are in sweet harmony with the same doctrine.
