21. Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts. To whatever race of creatures you may
belong, you are all his troops, and he is the general of all your armies. All
creatures should unite in praising their Creator, after the best of their
ability. Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. In whatever way you
serve him, bless him as you serve. The psalmist would have every servant in the
Lord’s palace unite with him, and all at once sing out the praises of the Lord.
We have attached a new sense to the word ministers in these latter days,
and so narrowed it down to those who serve in word and doctrine. Yet no true
minister would wish to alter it, for we are above all bound to be the Lord’s
servants, and we would, beyond all other ministering intelligences or forces, desire
to bless the glorious Lord.
