reward of his own work. That this is the Meffiah alone, and none of all his followers, is evident; for it is written,As many as are of the. ' works of the law,' (that is, who have no works but what themselves perform according to the law), are under the curfe;' but Chrift is the end of the law for righteousness to every one ' that believeth,' and hath redeemed them from the curfe of the law, being made a curfe for them.. -Moreover, the very perfon, defcribed by his character in this Pfalm, is declared juft, and entitled to eternal life, as the equal reward of his own righteoufhefs according to the law; as Jehovah fweareth by his own life, Ezek. xviii, and xxxiii. as Mofes alfo, in Jehovah's words, defcribeth the ་ righteousness which is of the law, That the man ⚫ who doth these things fhall live in them,' Rom.. 15.-Ifaiah also describes the fame character, and fhews the iffue thereof in the exaltation of the perfon to whom it belongeth, chap. xxxii. 15, 16.. 'He that walketh uprightly,' &c.. he fhall 'dwell on high,' &c. Who is this that walketh. uprightly, who is exalted, and dwelleth on high?: See the folution in the 5th verfe of the fame chap-. ter: The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteoutnefs.If any doubt ftill remain concerning the interpretation of this Pfalm, confult Pfalm xxiv. and you will find it is the King of glory, who receives the bleffing; who fhall not be moved; the Lord of glory, whom the rulers murdered, because they knew him not, nor yet the voice of their prophets which were read every day in their fynagogues. Thus the builders rejected the stone which was made the head of the corner. This is the doing of the Lord, and marvel-. lous in our eyes!'-See the first Pfalm. The grand important queftion's folv'd, And And Pharifees in vain revolv’d, Who fhall the heav'nly kingdom gain?'— The Son of God, for finners giv'n: THAT holy pilgrim, fhall he be, And with thee tabernacle ftill? 3 True-fworn unto his heart, his tongue No fellow mortal must have caufe To charge him with an evil deed; But he shall glorify the Just, As one who fwore a folemn oath, Te 5 To fuffer in himself the pains Of hell, that men may ftand in awe.

THAT the speaker in this Pfalm is the Son of God, and there is no other fpeaker in it, is as evident, as that the Holy Ghost is a true witness;* Acts ii. 25. and xiii. 35.-How grofsly then have they been impofed upon themfelves, and would. have imposed upon us, who talk to us in their commentaries, and in their contents of this Pfalm,, of David flying to God for preservation, &c. Meffiah trufteth in the Lord, By whom tranfgreflors are abhorr'd; For For, lo, the Lord will fet him free, 1 MY God, fustain me in my day, When all my woes upon me prey: 2 For I have faid to thee, O Lord, 4 For whom I heave my deepeft groans They are thy holy ones on earth, Their forrows fhall be multiply'd Who from Jehovah turn aside; Who turn into deftruction's road, Nor on their facrifices fup; My mouth abhors their very names, My mouth which thy fweet praife proclaims. 5 How good's the portion I have got!
