Upon each of these admirable Turns of Providence the Psalmist sets a Crown of glory, breathing out his enlarged and repeated desires, that when men have the comfort, God might have the praise of all his wonders of Providence. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness &c. It is the burden of the Song; Oh that men would praise the Lord!

My Text is the fourth repetition of this gracious breathing, poured out over the fourth work and wonder of Providence; namely. The admirable and even stupendous deliverances which God vouchsafes Mariners and Sea-men in many a black, dreadful, furious, death-threatening storm and tempest, expressed to the life in the 23, 24, 25, 26 27, 28, 29 Verses.
My Text is the fourth repetition of this gracious breathing, poured out over the fourth work and wonder of Providence; namely.
