(y) If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?

HIS TRUTH AND FAITHFULNESS.

(x) God is true. He is the God of truth. (a) Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

(b) His words are true; and his counsels are faithfulness and truth. The word that he shall speak shall come to pass; he will say the word, and will perform it.

(c) He is the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him, and keep his commandments.

(d) He is faithful who has promised: For all his promises are yea and amen.

(e) He keepeth truth for ever. He hath remembered the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Thy word, O Lord, is true from the beginning; and thy truth endureth for ever. For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven; and thy faithfulness is unto all gene

rations.

(f) The Lord hath done that which he had devised: He hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old; there failed not aught of any good thing which the Lord had spoken; all came to pass.

(b) He also is wise, and will bring evil, will not call back his words.

and

(i) His covenant will he not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of his lips.

(k) Our labour shall not be in vain in the Lord: For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

(1) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness.

(m) God is not a man, that he should lie: neither the son of man, that he should repent. Let God be true, but every man a liar.

(n) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful; he cannot deny himself. It is impossible for God to lie.

(o) Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? I have spoken it, (saith the Lord,) I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it I will not repent; neither will I turn back from it.

(9) God is pure, and every word of God is pure. (r) Holy and reverend is his name.

(s) The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

(t) The law of God is holy; and his commandments are holy, and just, and good.

(u) Thou only, O Lord, art holy.

(w) There is none holy as the Lord. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, glorious in holiness?

(*) Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

(y) Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.

(x) Why say ye, every one that doth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them?. He is not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness, neither shall evil dwell with him. He is of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity; the foolish shall not stand in his sight, he hateth all workers of iniquity.

(a) The way of the wicked, the thoughts of the wicked, the sacrifice and prayer of the wicked, are an abomination to the Lord..

(b) The righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him; but to all those that work wickedness, he saith, depart from me, I know you not.

(c) Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it; but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

(e) Can we by searching find out God? Can we find out the Almighty unto perfection? Such knowledge is too wonderful for us: It is high, we cannot attain unto it. And when we talk of him, we cannot order our speech by reason of dark

ness.

(f) What man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

(g) Verily, O God, thou art a God that hidest thyself; dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto.

ing of his understanding. We know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand we his counsel.

(i) Who knoweth the power of his anger? and the thunder of his power who can understand?

(k) How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out? His judgments are a great deep.

(1) We are not able to comprehend what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of God, which passeth all knowLedge.

(m) Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can shew forth all his praise?

(n) Many, O Lord, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done; they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: If we would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

(0) God hath done great things, and unsearchable; marvellous things, past finding out. Great things doth he, which we cannot comprehend.

(p) No man can find out the work that God maketh, from the beginning to the end: Though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
