Those that love Him He keeps; those that hate Him He scatters. Those that love Him are preserved; the wicked He destroys.

Those that love Him those "that fear Him." True love and filial fear go together. There is a fear which hath torment. This fear is dread, terror; and has nothing to do with the "fear of the Lord." The fear of the Lord = the love of God. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind." Those who thus love God are "kept" and "preserved" by Him. "He destroys the wicked" with an everlasting destruction. The "ungodly"=wicked. "The wicked shall be turned into hell." "Evil shall slay the wicked;" they shall "perish;" they are 66 cut off;" Thou shalt "slay them;" they shall not go unpunished;" they are "overthrown;" they are "filled with mischief;" they shall be "severed from the just."

21. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever. Because I fear the Lord, and because I love Him, my mouth shall praise Him. I praise Him myself, I shall praise Him, and I call upon all flesh to give Him thanks too. I will do my utmost to proclaim His praise; but that is not enough; I cannot be satisfied till all flesh unite with me. My desire is to see the whole earth illumined with Pentecostal fire.

For ever and ever. Nothing short of this will satisfy the Psalmist: that all flesh may bless God's holy Name to all eternity.

All flesh. Because "God willeth not that any should perish.' "Christ died for all." "And while yet sinners He died for us." Therefore all flesh may be saved; provision is made for all. Let us then labour and pray that "all flesh may give thanks unto His holy Name for ever and ever."
