I shall not need to set down with the exposition of the word (Blessed). How God blesseth us, and how we bless God. His blessing is a conferring 1of blessing; our blessing is a declaring of his goodness: it is a thing well enough known. Our blessing of God, is a praising of God, a setting out what is in him.
