Magnify the Lord with me— These, and the like expressions, do not mean that we can add any thing to the glory of the name or nature of God; but that we should shew forth and publicly celebrate his majesty and greatness, when we experience the interpositions of his providence in our deliverance from any threatening evil. We should then, with the Psalmist, glory in God; i.e. ascribe our safety, not to our own contrivance, subtilty, or power, but to the assistance and care of God, who watches over us. Chandler.
