Psalms 67

Aug. O let us labor to get sound evidences, that God is our God: We cannot call health, liberty, estate ours: O let us be able to call God ours, and say as the church (Psalm 67:6), God, even our own God shall bless us. Let every soul here labor to pronounce this Shibboleth, My G…

It is unequal, indeed ungrateful, to give away our love or worship to any but God. 2. From the utility: If we cleave to the Lord as our God, then 1. he will bless us (Psalm 67:6): God even our own God will bless us. He will bless us first in our estate (Deuteronomy 28:4-5): Bles…

A time of great temporal prosperity; of great health (Isaiah 33:24, "The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick."); of long life (Isaiah 65:22, "As the days of a tree, are the days of my people."). A time wherein the earth shall be abundantly fruitful (Psalm 67:6; Isaiah 30:23, 24;…

Now follows those means which he has given us, and they are attributed to the Lord himself directly, as his titles, to be used, either simply (Romans 9:5; 1 Timothy 1:17), in an oath (Deuteronomy 6:13; Jeremiah 12:26; Isaiah 18), or his works, given of him by man his ministry: h…

All that he means is, that, though other means fail, the providence of God is alone sufficient for us, for it supplies the animals abundantly with every thing that they need. Instead of fowls, (τὰ πετεινὰ,) Luke uses the word ravens, (τοὺς κόρακας,) alluding perhaps to that pass…

Neither are they commanded by God, but invented by men: about which the vain janglers have no respect of faith, but teach always the confidence of works, so long till they be at variance within themselves: every man will be nearest the mark, and despise the other, as our observa…

2. This is the most effectual spiritual oratory, or way of praying. (Psalm 67:5) Let the people praise you, O God, let all the people praise you. What then?

In the multitude of the people is the king's honor; and the glory of a shepherd lies in the number of his flock (Proverbs 14:28): so Christ's kingdom, the more it is enlarged, the more honor God has. That your way may be known among the heathen, and your saving health among all…

Vapors drawn up from the earth return in showers to the earth again. The sea pours out its fulness into the rivers, and all rivers return into the sea from where they came (Psalm 67:5-6): Let the people praise you O God, indeed let all the people praise you. Then shall the earth…

The sea puts out of her fullness into the rivers, and they again refund into the sea the water received from there. (Psalm 67:5-6) Let the people praise you, O Lord. Then shall the earth bring forth her increase.

This is sad when it is so; for this is a more sublime duty, therefore it should have more of our care. This is a profitable duty (Psalm 67:5-6): "Let the people praise you, O Lord, let all the people praise you. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God,…

(2.) From Covenant mercy to the thousand generation — contrary to (Genesis 17:7; Exodus 20:5). (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 i…

Then will God gloriously accomplish that promise (Psalm 2:8): Ask you of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. Then will the Sun of Righteousness appear in his meridian brightness, and dispel the mist…

These are comprised under that general particle all men. In divers Psalms are prayers for the Gentiles (Psalms 67 and 117), Abram prayed for the Sodomites (Genesis 18:24). Love extends itself so far.
