That I might admire and exalt Him

Psalm 18

"In that excellent psalm David enumerates and records all God's goings towards him. Oh then, with the psalmist, let my soul meditate on all the works of God; listen and file up the dispensations of His observable providences towards others and myself. Meditate on His so merciful preservings, directings, prosperings, and all other sorts and ways of providence; that I may admire and exalt Him, depend, and trust and wait upon Him, and walk so before Him, that His ways may ever be mercy and truth towards me."

Solitude Improved by Divine Meditation, Chapter 23, Part II by Nathanael Ranew
