Psalm 66
Concise Complete
Praise for God's sovereign power in the creation. (1-7) For his favour to
his church. (8-12) And the psalmist's praise for his experience of God's
goodness. (13-20)
Verses 1-7 The
holy church throughout all the world lifts up her voice, to laud that Name which
is above every name, to make the praise of Jesus glorious, both by word and
deed; that others may be led to glorify him also. But nothing can bring men to
do this aright, unless his effectual grace create their hearts anew unto
holiness; and in the redemption by the death of Christ, and the glorious
deliverances it effects, are more wondrous works than Israel's deliverance from
Egyptian bondage.
Verses 8-12 The
Lord not only preserves our temporal life, but maintains the spiritual life
which he has given to believers. By afflictions we are proved, as silver in the
fire. The troubles of the church will certainly end well. Through various
conflicts and troubles, the slave of Satan escapes from his yoke, and obtains
joy and peace in believing: through much tribulation the believer must enter
into the kingdom of God.
Verses 13-20 We
should declare unto those that fear God, what he has done for our souls, and how
he has heard and answered our prayers, inviting them to join us in prayer and
praise; this will turn to our mutual comfort, and to the glory of God. We cannot
share these spiritual privileges, if we retain the love of sin in our hearts,
though we refrain from the gross practice, Sin, regarded in the heart, will
spoil the comfort and success of prayer; for the sacrifice of the wicked is an
abomination of the Lord. But if the feeling of sin in the heart causes desires
to be rid of it; if it be the presence of one urging a demand we know we must
not, cannot comply with, this is an argument of sincerity. And when we pray in
simplicity and godly sincerity, our prayers will be answered. This will excite
gratitude to Him who hath not turned away our prayer nor his mercy from us. It
was not prayer that fetched the deliverance, but his mercy that sent it. That is
the foundation of our hopes, the fountain of our comforts; and ought to be the
matter of our praises.
