13. Blessed be the Lord. We cannot add to the Lord’s blessedness, but we can pour out our
grateful wishes, and these he accepts, as we receive little presents of flowers
from children who love us. Jehovah is the personal name of our God. God ofIsrael is his covenant title, and shows his special relation to his elect
people. From everlasting and to everlasting. The strongest way of
expressing endless duration. We die, but the glory of God goes on and on
without pause. Amen and amen. So let it surely, firmly, and eternally
be. Thus the people joined in the psalm by a double shout of holy affirmation;
let us unite in it with all our hearts. This last verse may serve for the
prayer of the universal church in all ages, but none can sing it so sweetly as
those who have experienced as David did the faithfulness of God in times of
extremity.
