Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He knows what is good for me better than I do for myself, and therefore I will have no will of my own but what is resolved into his." Exhortation to Praise God. 5 God is gone up with a shout, the L ORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
