Vers. 171. My lips shall speak praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
Vers. 171. My lips shall speake praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
AS we learn now that the end of all Gods blessings is thanksgiving, and unless we1 purpose and will perform this, we must never look to obtain any thing in favour: so we are also to learn, that before God teacheth us from above, we are as tongue tied, and cannot pray, before he by his spirit doth instruct us, we cannot once speak of his word. This he showeth both in the first portion and seventh verse: I will praise thee with an upright heart, when I shall have learned the judgements of thy righteousness: and in the second portion, where after he hath prayed to be taught in the statutes, he promiseth with his lips to tell the judgements of the Lord.
AS wee learne now that the end of all Gods blessings is thanksgiuing, and vnlesse wee1 purpose and will performe this, we must neuer looke to obtaine any thing in fauour: so we are also to learne, that before God teacheth vs from aboue, we are as tonguetide, and cannot pray, before he by his spirit doth instruct vs, we cānot once speake of his word. This he sheweth both in the first portion and seuenth verse: I will praise thee with an vpright heart, when I shall haue learned the iudgements of thy righteousnes: and in the second portion, where after he hath prayed to be taught in the statutes, he promiseth with his lippes to tel the iudgements of the Lord.
