The prophet, in the name of the church, is here triumphing in the consciousness of the divine presence. Well indeed might Israel say, He hath not dealt so by any nation; Psalms 147:20. Distinguishing mercies are the sweetest of all mercies. The sun that enlightens, and warms, and makes fruitful the earth; and the rain, and the dew, and the air; these are all blessings; but they are not distinguishing, for they visit all the world. But God's statutes and ordinances are peculiar to his Israel. Reader, since Israel revolted, and the gospel is given to us poor Gentiles, think what distinguishing mercies Great Britain hath been favored with? Oh! for grace to see, and for hearts to acknowledge the vast privileges!
