ARGUMENT

ARG. THOMAS. That CHRIST, after the Judgment, will destroy the ungodly with early vengeance. The Voice of CHRIST to the FATHER, or the Voice of the Church to CHRIST. The Voice of the Apostles to the FATHER touching the repose of the Saints. The Voice of s to the FATHER, touching the repose and expectation of the righteous. The Voice of CHRIST to the FATHER, touching the relics of the Saints. Of Penitence with Praise.

VEN. BEDE. The title is familiar, and the Psalm itself is enclosed in the form of perfect holiness, and may look for the hundred-fold fruit of reward.

In the first part of the Psalm the Church saith that she sings of mercy and judgment unto the LORD, and avoids the fellowship of the wicked. My song shall be of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O Lord, will I sing. In the second part, she declares that she loves the faithful, and delights in dwelling with them, but that she drives from her heart the evil spirits with their suggestions, and knows that they have no portion with the servants of GOD. Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful.
