VERSE 2. The Lord shall send the Rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the mids of thine enemies.
VERSE 2. The Lord shall send the Rod of thy strength out of Sion: Rule thou in the mids of thine enemies.
This Verse is a continuation of the former touching the Kingdom of Christ; and it contains the form of its spiritual administration. Wherein is secretly couched another of the Offices of Christ, namely his Prophetical Office. For that is as it were the dispensation and execution of his regal Office in the militant Church. The sum of this Administration consists in two principal things: First, in matters military, for the subduing of enemies, and for the defence and protection of his people. Secondly, in matters civill and judicial for the government, preservation and honour of his Kingdom. And both these are in this Psalm, The former in the latter part of this verse, Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. The other in the third verse, Thy people shall be willing, &c. and the way of compassing and effecting in the former words of this verse, The Lord shall send forth the Rod of thy strength out of Zion.
