The Psalms, as they go in order, so, I think they grow in strength, and each hath a weightier force to throw down our presumption.
Abraham, the father of the faithful ( Genesis 18:27 ), sifts himself into the coarsest man that can be, and resolves his nature into the elements whereof it first rose: "Behold I have begun to speak to my Lord, being dust and ashes." And if any of the children of Abraham, who succeed him in the faith, or any of the children of Adam, who succeed him in the flesh, thinketh otherwise, let him know that there is a threefold cord twisted by the finger of God, that shall tie him to his first original, though he contend till his heart break. "O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord" ( Jeremiah 22:29 ); that is, earth by creation, earth by continuance, earth by resolution. Thou camest earth, thou remainest earth, and to earth thou must return. John King.
Verse 18. The man of the earth. Man dwelling in the earth, and made of earth. Thomas Wilcocks.
