How suitably does the Psalm conclude in prayer and praise? Surely every reader cannot but make the same conclusion, whose mind is properly affected by the perusal of such an interesting view as is here afforded of the Church's unworthiness, and the Lord's grace towards her. Whether, as hath been supposed by some, the church was in the captivity of Babylon at the time this Psalm was written, or whether it refers to the general captivity of sin and Satan; yet, the cry of every awakened soul must be, to be gathered from men, from sin, from self, from the world; and to live to God in Christ in the love and delight of Jesus, from day to day. Reader! the Lord grant these mercies to you, to me, to all his people: and then we shall join the redeemed in every place, both above and below, in the same song of Hallelujah. Amen and Amen.
