If any should ask, Why is the Lord to be so worshipped? why ⟨p. 462⟩must he have such high honours from those that are high? what doth he in the World which calls for such adoration? David answers Meteorologically as well as Theologically, he answers from the Clouds (vers. 3.) The Voice of the Lord is upon the Waters, the God of glory thundereth; the Lord is upon many Waters; The voice of the Lord is powerful, the voice of the Lord is full of Majesty. As if he had said, Although the Lord Jesus Christ will not set up an outward, pompous, political Kingdom, such as that of Cyrus or Alexander, &c. yet by the Ministry of the Gospel he will erect a spiritual Kingdom, and gather to himself a Church, that shall abide for ever, out of all the Nations of the earth: For the Gospel shall be carried and preached to, not only the people of Israel, the Jews, but to the Gentiles all the world over, that the minds of men may be awakened, enlightened, and moved with that unheard of Doctrine of Salvation by Christ, which had been hid from Ages and Generations.
