Psalm 136: 1-9

He is revealed unto us the various names, characters, relations, and offices, which He bears in Scripture, and He holds out to our faith a cure for every wound, a cordial for every discouragement, and sufficient answer to every objection that sin or Satan can suggest against our peace.  If we are guilty, He is our Righteousness.  If we are sick, He is our Physician.  If we are weak, helpless, defenseless, He is the compassionate and faithful Shepherd who has taken charge of us.  And He will not allow anything to disappoint our hopes or to separate us from His love.  

He knows what we are made of, He remembers that we are but dust, and He has engaged to guide us by His counsel, support us by His power, and at length, to receive us into His glory, that we may be with Him forever.  The Works of John Newton, John Newton
