9. We have thought. Holy people are thoughtful
people; they do not suffer God’s wonders to pass before their eyes and melt
into forgetfulness, but they meditate deeply upon them. Of thy lovingkindness, O God. It is well to think of past lovingkindness in times
of trial, and equally profitable to remember it in seasons of prosperity. In the midst of thy temple. Where God is most seen he is best loved. The
assembled saints constitute a living temple, and our deepest musings when so
gathered together should have regard to the lovingkindness of the Lord,
exhibited in the varied experiences of each of the living stones. Memories of
mercy should be associated with continuance of praise. Hard by the table of
shew-bread commemorating his bounty should stand the altar of incense denoting
our praise.
