Ver. 74. Might serve him] Servati sumus ut serviamus. Christ hath therefore broke the devil’s yoke from off our necks, that we may take upon us this sweet yoke, and not carry ourselves as sons of Belial. Serve we must still, but after another manner, as the Israelites did, when brought out of the Egyptian bondage; yet thou shalt keep this service, saith Moses, Exo_12:25.



In holiness and righteousness] These two make up one perfect pair of compasses, which can take the true latitude of a Christian heart.
