7. He ruleth by his power for ever. He has
not deceased, nor abdicated, nor suffered defeat. The prowess displayed at the
Red Sea is undiminished. His eyes behold the nations. As he looked out
of the cloud upon the Egyptians, so does he spy out his enemies, and mark their
conspiracies. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. The proudest have
no cause to be proud. Could they see themselves as God sees them they would
shrivel into nothing. Where rebellion reaches to a great head, and hopes most
confidently for success, it is a sufficient reason for abating our fears, that
the Omnipotent ruler is also an Omniscient observer. “He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low
degree.” Selah. Pause again, and take time to bow low before the throne
of the Eternal.
