"Command, O God, Thy Virtue" (ver. 28). For one is our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, 1 and we in Him, of whom we read that He is "the Virtue of God and the Wisdom of God." 2 But how doth God command His Christ, save while He commendeth Him? For "God commendeth His love in us, in that while yet we were sinners, for us Christ died." 3 "How hath He not also with Him given to us all things?" 4 "Command, O God, Thy Virtue: confirm, O God, that which Thou hast wrought in us." Command by teaching, confirm by aiding.
