PSAL. CXXXV.

AS he ended with blessing God, Psalme 134. so in this Psalme he go∣eth on more largly; beginning with Halalujah, as in divers other Psalmes before: So that this is nothing else, but a further exhortation to the same, that they were before exhorted to; the causes of blessing God being declared unto, Verse 15. then the vanity of Idols, Verse 15, 16, 17, 18 is set forth. Lastly, Israel, Aaron, Levi, by name are exhorted to this duty, with all that feare God, to the end of the Psalme. In the first all things are plain to Verse 14. The Lord will judge his people, and repent him * 1.1 concerning his Servants. Which is taken from Deut. 32. 36 where the meaning may be seen, Verse 16, 17. &c. are the same with Psal. 115. 4, 5. &c. Lastly, the house of Aaron and Levi, are exhorted in particular to * 1.2 blesse God, because to them this Office in publick was committed in the names of all the other Tribes, yet all such as feared God, are called upon al∣so [Note] to do the same; it being hereby intimated, that this duty must not so be left to Gods Ministers, but if thou hast the feare of God in thee, thou must likewise acknowledge it to be thy duty to do the same, as well as they. Verse 21. he concludeth, Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, that dwelleth at Ieru∣salem. * 1.3 Psal. 134. was concluded, The Lord blesse thee out of Zion, Here blessed be the Lord out of Zion; he that blesseth, is to have blessings and praises sounded forth unto him, out of his Church; that is, every Congre∣gation of the faithfull. And if yee would know where this Lord is, he re∣solveth it by saying, That dwelleth at Ierusalem; according to other places, where it is said, This is my Habitation, here will I dwell, shewing my care continually over my Church, as my houshold. Halalujah, this is as well set to at the end, as prefixed in beginning, being to the same effect with Amen; so Ainsworth.
