Subjects give thee thanks for my Soveraignty and all of us together give thee thanks for our happy Union and Accord so full of thy goodness and mercy For that it is thy Name so near which brings us together thy power and presence so gracious which works our Salvation and declares our Deliverance so wonderful and Glorious Vers 2 And now because I know well the Throne is establisht by Judgment I unfeignedly resolve in the presence of my God and publickly declare for the satisfaction of my people that vvhen I receive the congregation when coming to Jerusalem the Metropolis and Royall City of my Kingdom I shall their sit with my Great Councel to consult the peace and settlement of the Nation I vvill then Judge according unto right making Law my rule Councel my guide and mercy my moderatress Vers 3 That so though the Earth and all the Inhabitants thereof are dissolv'd though the whole Land melts in Division distraction and distress and the whole Fabrick of the Church State is tottering and ready to fall to ruine thrown down by heresy schisme and profaness Yet I bear up the Pillars of it my Soveraign Authority shall bring a Soveraign remedy my Royal power shall bear up both Magistracy and Ministry the two supporting Pillars of the whole building without which it would certainly fall away to Anarchy Truth is I said and that often too Vers 4 by my Letters Messages and Manifesto's I thus said unto the fools such as through simplicity were seduced into sedition and Disloyalty to them I said Deal not so foolishly think not that you shall keep your Religion your Laws your Liberties your Goods your Lives and cast off your Soveraign who is appointed of God to be the Father and Defender of them all Yea I said unto the wicked even such as sinned of malicious wickedness to them I said lift not up your Horn advance not your power to resist your Soveraign Vers 5 At least lift not up your Horn on high take not Soveraignty it self upon you usurp not the Throne or if you do so presumptuously yet speak not with a stiff neck do not proudly impose your bloody edicts to destroy my Subjects persons let not your High Courts of Arbitrary power violate the Laws yea raze the foundations of all Civil government whereby my people shall become as sheep prepared to the slaughter Vers 6 Indeed why will ye ambitiously aspire to that excess of Dominion as if your selves should never be brought to Judgment Whereas the Dignity of the Throne and the Soveraignty os the Scepter is no Boon of Fortune or thing of chance for Promotion cometh neither from the East nor from the West nor from the South neither by confederacy of designs nor fortuitousness of events But Government is God's Ordinance Vers 7 and Governours are all accountable to him as Supream the highest Empire it is sub Jove Imperium God is the Judge he putteth down one and setteth up another And when he do's it by Divine Ordination it is in a regular providence putting a Period to the Royal Line of one family and by transferring the right of power to another Vers 8 And whom God sets up by a Divine Ordination let them look to 't who resist his lawful Dominion for in the Hand of the Lord there is a Cup a cup of wrath whose wine is red and full of mixture that is whose judgements are grievous and full of Horrour And where he finds a disobedience to just Authority there he poures forth of this cup of fury The top whereof the simple and seduced shall drink to their chastisement and correction but the maliciously wicked shall drink up nay suck out the dregs thereof to their temporal ruine and eternal destruction Vers 9 But as for the Execution of this wrath I leave it unto God so that no Sons of Zerviah no hot spirited men shall ever engage me in Severity towards my bitterest Enemies if now at length they become my Loyal Subjects No but I sensible of God's mercy in preserving me and converting them will declare for ever the wonders of that mercy singing praises to the God of Jacob for my preservation and their conversion True it is if notwithstanding all Vers 10 my Acts of Grace for their pardon and indempnity some implacable enemies will still endeavour to embroil my Kingdoms in sedition and embrue them in blood all the horns of such maliciously wicked I will cut off I will change my clemency into severity and execute the rigour of the Law to quell the violence of their Rage But as for the righteous ones the true Converts of Sion who become Loyal Subjects to me their lawfull Soveraign their Horns shall be exalted The Honours Dignities Profits and Employments of my Court Royal Camp Martial and Courts Judicial they shall be all the rewards of their dutiful Obedience and the Testimonies of my princely Bounties Thus Beloved in this Psalm's Exposition Ye have the Kings Declaration How I say 't again we have truly and exactly as to substance and matter the Kings Declaration even the Declaration of King Charles comprised in this Psalm which I may call the Declaration of King David when he was in the like the very like State and Condition with our present Soveraign And as the Two Kings then David and our Charles the II. agree in the same Spirit and Declaration so I pray God Israel and England too may agree in the same heart and affection only this 2. Sam. 20.1 To your Tents O Israel the voice of the Sons of Belial far be it and for ever be it far from our Soveraign and Sion that so we may have still cause to bless God for our King our King cause to bless God for us as David and Israel do here one for another saying Vnto thee O God do we give thanks unto thee do we give thanks for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare The words are a Laudatory gratulation Division in which observe 3. particulars the Altar the Offering and the Reason of that offering brought unto the Altar 1.
