Psalm 15

Psalm xv. shows, evidently, that the direct application of these psalms is to the dews in the last days. Still, there is a present government of God which it is well for saints to remember. It is developed in the Epistles of Peter — in the first in favour of the righteous, in the second in the judgment of the wicked. (See 1 Pet. iii. 10 — 15, showing” the Christian application of the principles on which God dealt with the Jews as a people, and will still more absolutely in the last days, but which have their application to the time of our sojourn here below.)

Thus, though this psalm be strictly Jewish in its character, we have principles to act on. Thus, ver. -I gives what, in principle, pleases the Lord at all times.
