28. For the Lord loveth judgment. The awarding of honor to whom honor is due is God’s delight, especially
when the upright man has been traduced by his fellow-men. And forsaketh not his saints. This would not be right, and, therefore, will never be done.
God is as faithful to the objects of his love as he is just towards all
mankind. They are preserved forever. By covenant engagements their
security is fixed; come what may, the saints are preserved in Christ Jesus, and
because he lives, they shall live also. But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. Honor and wealth ill-gotten seldom reach the third generation; the
curse grows ripe before many years have passed, and falls upon the evil house.
Among the legacies of the wicked the surest entail a judgment on their family.
