   The manner of raising attention, says Abp. Newcome, in ver. 1,
   2, by calling a man to urge his plea in the face of all
   nature, and on the inanimate creation to hear the
   expostulation of Jehovah with his people, is truly awakening
   and magnificent.  The words of Jehovah follow in ver. 3-5; and
   God's mercies having been set before the people, one of them
   is introduced in a beautiful manner, asking what his duty is
   towards so gracious a God, ver. 6, 7.  The answer follows in
   the words of the prophet, ver. 8.
