Here we may take this word Judgement, for the manner which God holdeth in governing the world, and the punishments which he layeth upon the ungodly: as also for the grace which he causeth them to feel which call upon him, and which walk sincerely before him. For the holy Scripture oftentimes when it speaketh of the Judgements of God, meaneth all this. But because that in this Psalm, the Judgements, are for the most part taken for the statutes, & ordinances that are contained in the law of God: I gladly mean too handle it at this present thus: that is, That David praised GOD, because he had given unto his people a law which was both just and full of equity, and that therein he had whereof to be glad, and to praise and magnify him.
Heere we may take this word Iudgement, for the manner which God holdeth in gouerning the worlde, and the punishments which he layeth vpon the vngodly: as also for the grace which he causeth them to feele which call vppon him, and which walke sincerely before him. For the holy Scripture oftentimes when it speaketh of the Iudgementes of God, meaneth al this. But because that in this Psalme, the Iudgements, are for the most parte taken for the statutes, & ordinaunces that are contayned in the law of God: I gladly meane too handle it at this present thus: that is, That Dauid praysed GOD, because he had giuen vnto his people a lawe which was bothe iuste and full of equitie, and that therein hee had whereof to bee glad, and to prayse and magnifie him.
Lo here a place well worthy the noting. For by these words David doth us too wit, that we cannot praise GOD, so long as we are not instructed in his word, our mouth shall be closed up, and our heart looked fast up, so that a man shall not pull from us one good word, which may turn too the praise of God.
