Psalms 148:13,14

Let them praise, &c. Let them acknowledge and celebrate the wisdom, goodness, and power of the Lord; for his name alone is excellent For how great soever any other beings may be, there is none equal to him, whose most excellent majesty infinitely surpasses that of all other beings; and whose glory is above the earth and heaven Above all that the earth or heaven can utter of him. He also exalteth the horn of his people And so great is God's condescension unto us, the children of Israel, that he takes a peculiar care of us, hath bestowed upon us many peculiar benefits, and raised us to the highest pitch of honour, especially to this, that he hath brought us more near to himself than any other people upon the earth, and hath placed among us a visible token of his presence: we therefore are under peculiar obligations to praise him for his singular kindness.
