10. According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth. The glory of Jehovah’s exploits overleaps the boundaries of earth; if
men are silent, yet all the unseen spirits are full of the divine praise. As in
a shell we listen to the murmurs of the sea, so in the convolutions of creation
we hear the praises of God. Thy right hand is full of righteousness. Thy
scepter and thy sword, thy government and thy vengeance, are altogether just.
Thy hand is never empty, but full of energy, of bounty, and of equity. Neither
saint nor sinner will find the Lord to be an empty-handed God; he will in both
cases deal out righteousness to the full: to the one, through Jesus, he will be
just to forgive, to the other just to condemn.
