Robert Traill (The Lord's Prayer, John 17:24), Works 2:275:

David, the best artist at praise of any saint, how doth he praise? 2 Sam. 7:18-20, Who am I? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? And is this the manner of man, O Lord? And what can David say more unto thee? He asks questions he cannot answer; he is silenced as soon as he begins to praise, and thus he praiseth rightly. Whoever thinks he hath balances to weigh mercy in, never felt the load of mercy; and that man is farthest from right praising, that thinks he can praise, and is best pleased with his praising. But perfect praising is reserved for heaven; and none can learn that song, but they that are with the Lamb in that mount Zion, Rev. 14:1-4. Perfect seeing of Christ’s glory, perfect likeness to him by that sight, perfect happiness by that likeness, and perfect expression of that happiness, are all within the veil; and all we have and know on earth, are but faint and dark shadows thereof.
