6. Here the exhortation to worship is renewed and backed with a motive
which, to Israel of old, and to Christians now, is especially powerful; for
both the Israel after the flesh and the Israel of faith may be described as the
people of his pasture, and by both he is called “our God.” O come, let us worshipand bow down. The adoration is to be humble. The “joyful noise” is to be accompanied with
lowliest reverence. We are to worship in such style that the bowing indicates
that we count ourselves as nothing in the presence of the allglorious Lord. Letus kneel before the Lord ourmaker. Posture is not everything—prayer is heard when knees cannot bend—but
it is seemly that an adoring heart should show its awe by prostrating the body,
and bending the knee.
