Psalms 124:8

REFLECTIONS

BLESSED Deliverer of thy people! thou art our salvation, and the salvation of God our Father to the ends of the earth. And what thy Father appointed, thou hast accomplished: thy love, and thy mercy, have been the glorious procuring cause of all thy Church's deliverance, and of all their joy. Let it please thee then, most gracious Saviour, to be our help and confidence forever. Let the church, which thou hast purchased with thy blood, be still dear to thee. Let the souls of thy people, whom thou hast justified with thy righteousness, be still thy Jewels. And while we cry out with holy joy, Blessed be the Lord, who remembered us in our low estate; may we always be discovering new causes to close the holy song: for his mercy endureth forever. Our soul is escaped from the beast of prey, and the fowler's net; and therefore Jesus shall be our glory, and we will still say, Thanks be to God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ.
