PSALM 35

TEHILLIM 35

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Yahweh be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

The prospect of the Lord's coming has so long been a matter of faith and hope, and has yet done nothing for us so far as material results are concerned but embarrass our temporal relations, that we may, in the anguish of spirit, refuse the comfort of the promise, and say with Israel,

"Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians."

Let us be aware of this propensity. "Though the vision tarry," saith the Spirit,

"wait for it. It will surely come. At the end it will speak and not lie."

The Christadelphian, Oct 1875
