The Incomparableness of God
Swinnock's exposition of Psalm 89:6 magnifies a God who has no equal in His being, attributes, works, and word, and then turns that vision into worship and practical godliness. His aim is to lift the reader's thoughts to the greatness of God so that every rival object of trust and delight shrinks by comparison.
