355. Psalm 105 The establishment of the church by the Lord, and the reformation of the natural man. 11 1-7 Song in praise of the Lord and of His works for the establishment of the church. 11, 16 8-15 The establishment of the church in the beginning, and her protection from falsities of evils. 11 16 When there was no longer any truth, 3 17, 18 the Lord came, and they afflicted Him; 4 19-22 but He afterwards became the God of heaven and earth. 10 23, 24 Hence those who were of the church were natural, and in knowledges [scientifica]; 11 25-36 therefore their natural has been purged of falsities and evils of every kind, which infested; these here treated of; 11 37-41 afterwards truth and good, and protection from falsities, are granted them, 11 42-45 and He causes them to be a church. 11
