That they may fear thee
For his goodness sake in hearing their prayer, removing their
affliction, and bestowing his blessings on them, particularly in
forgiving their sins, see ( Psalms 130:4
) ( Hosea 3:5
)
all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest
unto our
fathers;
not only for the present, while the mercy is fresh, but all the
days of their lives; to which they were the more obliged by the
good land they possessed as a divine gift, and which they held by
the tenure of their obedience, ( Isaiah 1:19 ) .
