* Not (note :)Because God promised to deliver them , not for their sakes , but for his Name , ( Isa_48:11 ), therefore they ground their prayer on this promise .(:note ) unto us , O LORD , not unto us , but unto thy name give glory , for thy mercy , [and ] for thy truth 's sake . * Wherefore should the heathen say , (note :)When the wicked see that God does not always accomplish his promise as they imagined , they think there is no God .(:note ) Where [is ] now their God ? * But our God [is ] in the heavens : he hath done whatsoever he hath (note :)No impediments can slow his work , but he uses even the impediments to serve his will .(:note ) pleased . * Their idols [are ] (note :)Seeing that neither the matter nor the form can commend their idols it follows that there is no reason that they should be esteemed .(:note ) silver and gold , the work of men 's hands . * They haue a mouth and speake not : they haue eyes and see not . * They haue eares and heare not : they haue noses and smell not . * They have (note :)He shows what great vanity it is to ask help from them who not only have no help in them , but lack sense and reason .(:note ) hands , but they handle not : feet have they , but they walk not : neither speak they through their throat . * They that make them are (note :)As much without sense as blocks and stones .(:note ) like unto them ; [so is ] every one that trusteth in them . * O Israel , trust thou in the Lorde : for he is their helpe and their shielde . * * Ye that feare the Lorde , trust in the Lord : for he is their helper and their shield . * The LORD hath been mindful of us : he will bless [us ]; he (note :)That is , he will continue his graces toward his people .(:note ) will bless the house of Israel ; he will bless the house of Aaron . * He will blesse them that feare the Lorde , both small and great . * The Lord will increase his graces towarde you , euen toward you and toward your children . * Ye [are ] blessed of the LORD which (note :)And therefore still governs and continues all things in it .(:note ) made heaven and earth . * The (note :)And they declare enough his sufficiency so that the world serves him nothing , but to show his fatherly care toward men .(:note ) heaven , [even ] the heavens , [are ] the LORD 'S : but the earth hath he given to the children of men . * The dead praise not the LORD , neither any that (note :)Though the dead set forth God 's glory , yet he means here , that they praise him not in his Church and congregation .(:note ) go down into silence . * But we will prayse the Lorde from henceforth and for euer . Prayse ye the Lord .
