15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
15 The nations will fear the name of the Lord, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.
15 Nations will fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.
15 The godless nations will sit up and take notice - see your glory, worship your name -
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord, And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
15 Then the nations will tremble before the Lord . The kings of the earth will tremble before his glory.
16 When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
16 For the Lord will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.
16 For the Lord builds up Zion; he appears in his glory;
16 When God rebuilds Zion, when he shows up in all his glory,
16 For the Lord shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory.
16 For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem. He will appear in his glory.
(Read Psalm 102:12-22)
We are dying creatures, but God is an everlasting God, the protector of his church; we may be confident that it will not be neglected. When we consider our own vileness, our darkness and deadness, and the manifold defects in our prayers, we have cause to fear that they will not be received in heaven; but we are here assured of the contrary, for we have an Advocate with the Father, and are under grace, not under the law. Redemption is the subject of praise in the Christian church; and that great work is described by the temporal deliverance and restoration of Israel. Look down upon us, Lord Jesus; and bring us into the glorious liberty of thy children, that we may bless and praise thy name.
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
10 so that all created beings in heaven and on earth - even those long ago dead and buried - will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
(Read Philippians 2:5-11)
The example of our Lord Jesus Christ is set before us. We must resemble him in his life, if we would have the benefit of his death. Notice the two natures of Christ; his Divine nature, and human nature. Who being in the form of God, partaking the Divine nature, as the eternal and only-begotten Son of God, John 5:23. Here we see such motives to self-denying love as nothing else can supply. Do we thus love and obey the Son of God?
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11 and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father.
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
