Beginning Exalted Glorious Glory Holy Honour Placed Sanctuary Seat Throne
17:12 A glorious {l} high throne from the beginning [is] the place of our sanctuary.
(l) Showing that the godly ought to glory in nothing, but in God who exalts his, and has left a sign of his favour in his temple.
17:12-18 The prophet acknowledges the favour of God in setting up religion. There is fulness of comfort in God, overflowing, ever-flowing fulness, like a fountain. It is always fresh and clear, like spring-water, while the pleasures of sin are puddle-waters. He prays to God for healing, saving mercy. He appeals to God concerning his faithful discharge of the office to which he was called. He humbly begs that God would own and protect him in the work to which he had plainly called him. Whatever wounds or diseases we find to be in our hearts and consciences, let us apply to the Lord to heal us, to save us, that our souls may praise his name. His hands can bind up the troubled conscience, and heal the broken heart; he can cure the worst diseases of our nature.
