35. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. They are the only blot upon creation. In holy indignation the psalmist
would rid the world of beings so base as not to love their gracious Creator, so
blind as to rebel against their Benefactor. The Christian way of putting it will
be to ask that grace may turn sinners into saints, and win the wicked to the
ways of truth. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Here is the end of the matter—whatever sinners may do, do thou,
my soul, stand to thy colors, and be true to thy calling. O ye saints, Praise ye the Lord. Let your hearts
cry, “Hallelujah”—for that is the word in
the Hebrew. Let it close the psalm; for what more remains to be said or
written? Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord.
