35. For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah. Poor, fallen Israel will have a portion in the mercy of the Lord; but
above all the church, so dear to the heart of her glorious bridegroom, will be
revived and strengthened. It is the subject of cheering hope that better days
are coming for the chosen people of God, and for this we would ever pray. That they may dwell them, and have it in possession. Whatever captivities may
occur, or desolations be caused, the land of Canaan belongs to Israel by a
covenant of salt, and they will surely repossess it; and this will be a sign
unto us, that through the atonement of the Christ of God all the poor in spirit
will enjoy the mercies promised in the covenant of grace.
