Thirdly, When the wicked fall the Lord is honoured in the attribute of his power; How great is his power, who pulls down great power? It argues the Almightiness of God, when he puts the mighty from their seats: when the Oaks and the Cedars, when the high walls and mountains are shaken and removed by his blows and batteries. When Pharaoh and his Egyptian host were drowned in the red Sea; Then Moses magnified God in his power (Exod. 15.2.) The Lord is my strength and song (that is, I will sing of the strength of the Lord, not of the strength of man) he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my fathers God and I will exalt him.

The mountains & th•••lls to be threshed, were the mighty ones of the earth, setting themselves against the ways and designs of heaven. The Instrument or flail wherewith they were to be threshed was the worm Jacob (ver. 14.) God did not so much make an Instrument for the worm Jacob, as he made the worm Jacob his Instrument. Behold, I will make thee, (not for thee) a new threshing Instrument; But when the worm hath done this great work, when he hath threshed the mountains, and made the hills as chaff; What must he do then? The 16th verse tells, Thou shalt rejoice in the Lord,
