Secondly, It includes and takes in some holy gracious apprehensions, of the Majesty, Sovereignty, Dignity, Authority, and presence of that God, under whose afflicting hand we are, Hab. 2. 20. But the Lord is in his holy Temple, let all the ⟨p. 20⟩earth be silent, or as the Hebrew reads it, be silent all the earth before his face. When God would have all the people of the earth to be hushed, quiet, and silent before him, he would have them to behold him in his Temple, where he sits in state, in majesty, and glory. Zephan. 1. 7. Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God. Chat not, murmur not, repine not, quarrel not: Whist, stand mute, be silent, lay thy hand on thy mouth, when his hand is upon thy back, who is (totus oculus) all-eye, to see, as well as all hand, to punish. As the eyes of a well-drawn picture, are fastened on thee which way soever thou turnest; so are the eyes of the Lord; and therefore thou hast cause to stand mute before him.
