Psalms68:35

35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places , the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people : blessed be God.

Or, Venerable, deservedly to be both Reverenced and Feared.

Or, Sanctuaries. He useth the plural Number; Either, 1. Of the Sanctuary in Zion, because the Tabernacle and Temple consisted of three Parts, the Court, the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies. Or rather, 2. With respect to that two [illegible: 1+ letters]old Sanctuary here mentioned, one in Zion, and the other in Heaven. And out of both these Holy places God appeared, and put forth such Acts of his Power, as might justly, terrifie his Enemies.

The strength which the Kingdom of Israel now hath, is not to be ascribed to my Valour or Conduct, nor to the Courage or numbers of the People, nor to that happy Union now made, and Established among all the Tribes, but onely to the might and Grace of God.
