11. The Lord of hosts iswith us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. It was
fitting to sing this twice over. It is a precious privilege which cannot be too
often considered. Is the Lord on your side? Is Emmanuel, God with us, your
Redeemer? Is there a covenant between you and God as between God and Jacob? If
so, show your joy in holy song, and in times of trouble still make music for
your God. Selah. Here as before, lift up the heart. Rest in
contemplation after praise. It is easier to sing a hymn of praise than to
continue in the spirit of praise, but let it be our aim to maintain the
uprising devotion of our grateful hearts, and so end our song as if we intended
it to be continued.
