8. In God we boast all the day long. We have
abundant reason for doing so while we recount his mighty acts. All other
boasting is loathsome save this, which is laudable and pleasing. And praise thy name forever. Praise should be perpetual. If there were no new acts of
love, yet ought the Lord to be praised for what he has done for his people.
High let the song be lifted up as we bring to remembrance the eternal love
which chose us, predestinated us to be sons, redeemed us with a price, and then
enriched us with all the fullness of God. Selah. A pause comes in fitly
here, when we are about to descend from the highest to the lowest key. No
longer are we to hear Miriam’s timbrel, but rather Rachel’s weeping.
