9. Exalt the Lord our God. A second time the delightful title of Jehovah our God is used, and it
is quickly followed by a third. The psalm is Trinitarian in its whole
structure. In each of his sacred persons the Lord is the God of his people; the
Father is ours, the Son is ours, and the Holy Spirit is ours; let us exalt him
with all our ransomed powers. And worship at his holy hill. Where he
appoints his temple let us resort. No spot of ground is now fenced about as
especially holy, or to be regarded as more sacred than another; yet his visible
church is his chosen hill, and there would we be found, numbered with his
people, and unite with them in worship. For the Lord our God is holy. Again this devout description is
repeated, and made the climax of the song. Oh for hearts made pure within, so
that we may rightly perceive and worthily praise the infinite perfection of the
Triune Lord.
