Homilist Psalm 103:1-22 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.… I. WITH THE WHOLE SOUL. There are at least three immeasurable faculties within — intellect, imagination, conscience. All these should praise Jehovah, who is the True, for the intellect; the Beautiful, for the imagination; and the Righteous, for the conscience. Let all come out in praise, as all the powers of the harp come out under the touch of the master musician; as all the powers of the seed come out under the genial influence of the sunbeam. II. FOR URGENT REASONS. "All His benefits." 1. Sin is an offence; and here is forgiveness. 2. Sin is a disease; and here is healing. 3. Sin is ruinous; and here is restoration. 4. Sin is a degradation; and here is exaltation. 5. Sin is discontent; and here is satisfaction. 6. Sin is weakness; and here is invigoration. (Homilist.)
