Psalms 50:7. Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
It is with his national people, the Jews; it is with his visible Church, God is now dealing. He himself has seen the ways of his professing people: he need not, therefore, call any witnesses. He who cannot err will testify against us; and he declares himself here not only as God, but under that name, "thy God." It was thus the law began. "I am the Lord thy God that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage." It is thus the judgment and rebuke begin: "I am God, even thy God."
