Thee.” (Ps. lxii. 3.) He said not merely “longeth,” that he might by such words express the
vehemence of his desire; and again, “Fix1432 my flesh in Thy fear.” (Ps. cxix. 120, Sept.) For
he wishes us so to cleave and be united to Him, that we may never be separated from Him.
If thus we hold by God, if thus we rivet our thoughts upon Him, if we thirst with the love
of Him, all that we desire will be ours, and we shall obtain the good things to come, in Jesus
Christ our Lord, to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be glory, power, and honor,
now and for ever. Amen.
