Psalms 109:21-29

Here we have the blessed Jesus, in his human nature addressing the Father, as in the days of his flesh. How very interesting to his people are those cries! How impossible but to take part in them! and when the soul is led out by faith to view him in all the circum stances of his life and ministry; when performing and finishing redemption-work; what subject can be equally tender and affecting! Reader! turn to that sweet scripture, Hebrews 5:7, and see whether, at every renewed reading of it, somewhat inexpressibly lovely doth not arise out of it, in beholding him, who though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered!
