For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
Ver. 7. The people of his pasture] Whom he turns not out into commons and fallows, but feeds among lilies, Song of Solomon 2:16 .
And the sheep of his hand] His cades brought up at hand, eating of his meat and drinking of his cup, and lying in his bosom, as Uriah's ewe lamb did, 2 Samuel 12:3 .
Today if ye will hear his voice] i.e. While the day of grace lasteth, which is not long, 2 Corinthians 6:2. Qui paenitenti veniam spospondit, peccanti crastinum non promisit, saith Gregory.
