6. Our own personal obligations must not absorb our song; we must also
magnify the Lord for his goodness to others. He does not leave the poor and
needy to perish at the hands of their enemies, but interposes on their behalf,
for he is the executor of the poor and the executioner of the cruel. When his
people were in Egypt he heard their groanings and brought them forth, but he
overthrew Pharaoh in the Red Sea. Man’s injustice will receive retribution at
the hand of God. Mercy to his saints demands vengeance on their persecutors,
and he will repay it. No blood of martyrs will be shed in vain; no groans of
confessors in prison will be left without inquisition being made concerning
them. All wrongs shall be righted, all the oppressed avenged. God will
make the tyrant bite the dust; often he visits the haughty persecutor even in
this life, so that “the Lord is known by the
judgments which he executeth.”
