7. Thy saints shall crowd to thy
tribunal with their complaints, or shall surround it with their solemn homage.
As when a judge travels at the assizes, all men take their cases to his court
that they may be heard, so will the righteous gather to their Lord. Here he
fortifies himself in prayer by pleading that if the Lord will mount the throne
of judgment, multitudes of the saints would be blessed as well as himself. If I
be too base to be remembered, yet for their sakes come forth from thy
secret pavilion, and sit in the gate dispensing justice among the people. When
my suit includes the desires of all the righteous it shall surely speed, for “shall not
God avenge his own elect?”
