60. Thirty Two. (Let destruction come upon him before he knows, and into that devastation let him fall. Lord, rescue my soul from the devastators (Ps. 35:8, 17).) A day of famine and a time of evil (Ps. 37:19). (I understood their end, thou hast cast them down to wasteness, and they are brought into wasteness suddenly, they are consummated (Ps. 73:17-19).) For a thousand years in Thy sight are as yesterday when it is past (Ps. 90:4). Thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure, and all shall grow old like a garment; as a garment shalt Thou change them and they shall be changed: but Thou art the same, Thy years are not consumed; the son of Thy servants shall dwell, and their seed shall be established before Thee (Ps. 102:26-29). Our feet were standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together. There are set thrones for judgment. Seek the peace of Jerusalem, let them be quiet that love thee (Ps. 122:1-9). A song of Jehovah. If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not, if I do not set Jerusalem above the beginning of my joy (Ps. 137:5, 6). (A full consummation was made, that is, was completed, when the Lord exclaimed upon the cross, It is finished (John 19:28-30; Ps. 35:7, 8, 17).)
