Psalms 135

Christ has many heirs, but no successors. Well may he be called King of Kings, for he has an unlimited power; other kings their power is limited, but Christ's power is unlimited (Psalm 135:6), Whatever he pleased, that did he in heaven and earth, and in the seas. Christ's power…

Q. How does the execution or accomplishment of things reveal God's decree? A. Yes, very clearly, because nothing was decreed but he executes the same in time; and whatever is brought to pass in time was determined and decreed afore (Ephesians 1:11; Psalm 135:6; Isaiah 46:10). Q.…

Things we prize we love. The righteous are God's treasure (Psalm 135:4), and where his treasure is, there is his heart: they are God's delicious garden, where he plants the flower of his love (Psalm 146:8). They are the dearly beloved of his soul (Jeremiah 12:7).

2. Nothing is acted in the world without the will of God. His will either commands it, or permits it (Psalm 135:6). Whatever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven and in earth.

But this is Petitio principii, the disparity of favors bestowed on persons and nations, do argue in Scripture disparity of good-wills in the Lord; as because God sent his law and testimonies to Israel and Jacob, and dealt not so with every nation (Psalm 147:19-20). Every page al…

Evening, Morning and at Noon will I pray. Grace makes the Saints delight in singing Praises to God: Psalms 135. 3. Sing Praises unto his Name, for it is pleasant.

The name of the God of Jacob defend you; that is, let the God of Jacob himself, who is the only true and almighty Potentate, be your shield and your defense. Psalm 135:3. Sing praises to his name; that is, offer your returns of thanks and praises to that God from whom you have r…

For great is our God above all Gods. (Psalm 135:5) For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all Gods. But the place that I would chiefly commend to you is this: (Psalm 145:3) Great is the Lord, and most worthy to be praised: and his greatness is unsearchable.

In man it is not so; he imagines and wills many things, but his power falls short, because his faculties are not as large as the object: but God can imagine infinitely, and his power is as large and infinite as his wisdom: therefore he must be able to do things that are infinite…

Let us pray over this Promise: while some pray for Riches, and others for Children, let us pray for an Heart to Fear God. To conclude this, you who have this Fear planted in your Souls, bless God for it, Psalm 135:20. Ye that Fear the Lord bless the Lord.

(Psalm 147:1) Praise the Lord, for it is pleasant. And (Psalm 135:3) Sing praises to his name for it is pleasant. Next to necessity profit, next to profit pleasure.

(3.) From Covenant prayers and church prayers — contrary to (1 Samuel 12; Psalm 28:9; Psalm 67:1-2; Psalm 103:4-5). (4.) From the blessing of the Lord's Covenant-presence, who dwells in the Nation, in the Kingdom (Psalm 135:21, Psalm 132:13-14, Revelation 11:15, Isaiah 19:25, Is…

For the clearer illustrating of this, I shall lay down these four particulars. 1 Praise and thanksgiving is a Saint-like work; we find in Scripture, the godly are still called upon to praise God, Psalm 135. 20. You that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

Consider what a Christ we have, one who as God, has a standing will that cannot fall (Isaiah 14:24). He does all his pleasure: his pleasure and his work are commensurable (Isaiah 46:10-11, Psalm 135:6, Psalm 115:3). Yet this Lord did stoop so low as to take to himself man's will…

§. 125. Of Giving Thanks Always. We have an excellent pattern of this in that man that was a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22), that sweet singer of Israel (2 Samuel 23:1): as he was very frequent on all occasions in making petition to God, so also in thanksgiving: many Psa…

Does God uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, their actions, and all things from the greatest, even to the least? Yes. (Hebrews 1:3; Daniel 4:34-35; Psalm 135:6; Acts 17:25-26, 28; Job 38, 39, 40, 41, chapters.) Well then, do not the Socinians, Arminians, and that…

Q. 2. What is God in himself? A. An (a) eternal (b) infinite, (c) incomprehensible (d) spirit, (e) giving being to all things, and doing with them whatever he pleases. (a) Deuteronomy 33:37; Isaiah 57:15; Revelation 1:8. (b) 1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 139:2, 3, 4, 5, &c. (c) Exodus 32:…

Q. 7. What are the chief attributes of his being? A. (a) Eternity, (b) infiniteness, (c) simplicity, or purity, (d) all-sufficiency, (e) perfectness, (f) immutability, (g) life, (h) will, and (i) understanding. (a) Deuteronomy 33:37, Psalm 93:2, Isaiah 57:15, Revelation 1:11. (b…
