ILLUSTRATIONS on the I. PSALM.
1 Behold the Psalter beginning like the Sermon of our SAVIOUR, with a Discourse on the Supreme and Final Happiness of Man. Basit considers the First Psalm, as the Foundation o• all the Psalter. The Terms used for the Wicked here, are such as the Holy Oracles put on the Members of Antichrist. A thing here to be deeply thought upon. See Isai. XI. 4. and 2 Pet. III. 3, 4.
