O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very deep.
Ver. 5. O Lord, how great are thy works!] Surely so great that I cannot utter them, and must, therefore, thus vent myself by an exclamation.
Expleri mentem nequeo, ardescoque tuendo
(Virgil.)
And thy thoughts are very deep] Here, then, we must do as those Romans did, who, when they found a lake the depth whereof was unknown, they dedicated it to Victory. Cry, O the depth! and there rest us.
