Israel Invoked to Praise the LORD.

1Praise the LORD!
         Sing to the LORD a new song,
         And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

2Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
         Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.

3Let them praise His name with dancing;
         Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.

4For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
         He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.

5Let the godly ones exult in glory;
         Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
         And a two-edged sword in their hand,

7To execute vengeance on the nations
         And punishment on the peoples,

8To bind their kings with chains
         And their nobles with fetters of iron,

9To execute on them the judgment written;
         This is an honor for all His godly ones.
         Praise the LORD!

Heinrich Suso Ps. cxlix. 3 To praise Him in the dance! O glorious day! The pilgrim journey done-- No more press forward on the weary way, For all is reached and won! His Hand at last, the Hand once pierced for me, For ever holdeth mine; O Lord, no songs, no harps of heaven wil be Sweet as one word of Thine. Lord, altogether lovely! then at last High shall the guerdon be, Thy kiss outweigh the weary ages past Of hearts that brake for Thee. ...... Yet now I know Thee as the hidden Bread, The living …

The Millennium in Relation to Sin.
In spite of the fact that Satan will have been removed from the earth, and that Christ reigns in person over it, yet conditions here will not be perfect even in the Millennium. Unregenerate human nature will remain unchanged. Sin will still be present, though much of its outward manifestation will be restrained. Discontent and wickedness will not be eradicated from the hearts of men, but will be kept beneath the surface by means of the Iron Rod. Multitudes will yield to Christ nothing but a "feigned …

St. Malachy's Apostolic Labours, Praises and Miracles.
[Sidenote: 1140, October] 42. (23). Malachy embarked in a ship, and after a prosperous voyage landed at his monastery of Bangor,[576] so that his first sons might receive the first benefit.[577] In what state of mind do you suppose they were when they received their father--and such a father--in good health from so long a journey? No wonder if their whole heart gave itself over to joy at his return, when swift rumour soon brought incredible gladness even to the tribes[578] outside round about them. …

Psalms
The piety of the Old Testament Church is reflected with more clearness and variety in the Psalter than in any other book of the Old Testament. It constitutes the response of the Church to the divine demands of prophecy, and, in a less degree, of law; or, rather, it expresses those emotions and aspirations of the universal heart which lie deeper than any formal demand. It is the speech of the soul face to face with God. Its words are as simple and unaffected as human words can be, for it is the genius …
