ARGUMENT.

The prophet, 1. gives thanks, with the church, to God for the manifeftation of his NAME, and the wonders of falvation wrought thereby. 2. He declares his refolution of executing judgment and juftice in his kingdom, which 3. had been in diforder and confufion; 4-6. he rebukes the wicked; 6, 7. reminds them of the power, providence, counfels, and judgments of God; 9, 10. he concludes with repeating his refolution to praise God; to break the power of wickedness; and to establish righteousness.

ER. 1. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,

unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near, thy wondrous works declare.

The church offers up her repeated praises to God for deliverance; fhe acknowledges the prefence of his VOL. II.
