Here is a blessed conclusion to this triumphant Psalm. God's testimonies and faithfulness are ever sure: and the Lord's holiness is pledged for the full performance of all covenant promises. I have sworn once by my holiness, saith Jehovah, that I will not lie unto David. Psalms 89:35
REFLECTIONS
SWEET thought, in the perusal of this Psalm! The right of Jesus to government as the Son of God, one with the Father, is a natural right, for he is Lord of all. And sweet to the believer also is the thought that, as King in Zion, as the Mediator of his church and people, he hath a donative right, a purchased right, and a right by conquest and by power. Rejoice then, my soul! Thy God, thy King, thy Jesus reigneth. Yes! blessed Lord, do thou reign, and rule, and govern, in thy Zion. Do thou manifest to my soul, that thou hast subdued my stubborn heart, and brought me under thy gracious sceptre. And, Lord, do thou reign, in me, and rule in me and for me, against all the host of foes and floods of the ungodly, whether of sin or Satan, or my lusts or the world. And oh Lord, give me desires to know thee, and to obey thee, and to live to thee and to thy glory. I would be led a willing captive by my Lord, and know no will but thine. And, Lord, subdue the world to the sceptre of thy grace! Let the earth rejoice that thou art king, and let every knee bow before thee, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
