PSAL. L.
The design of this Psalm, is partly to reprove and protest against the common Miscarriages of many Professors of Religion, who satisfied their own Con∣sciences, and fancied that they pleased God with their external and Ceremonial performances, not∣withstanding their gross neglect of those more ne∣cessary and Fundamental duties of Piety, and Iu∣stice, and Charity: Partly, to instruct men con∣cerning the Nature of the true and acceptable Wor∣ship of God: and Partly, to prepare the Israelites, for and tacitly warn them of that Change, which would be made in the •…•…outward form and way of Gods worship, under and by the Messias, and of the abolition of the legal Sacrifices, which God did not appoint for his own need, nor for his Peoples perpet•…•…∣al use.
