As a Captain and General; therefore in ver. 3. There (In Zion) brake he the Arrows of the Bow, the Shield, and the Sword, and the Battle. Thou art more glorious and excellent then the Mountains of prey. At thy rebuke O God of Jacob, both the Chariot and Horse are cast into a dead sleep.
As a Captain and General; therefore in ver. 3. There (In Syon) brake he the Arrows of the Bow, the Shield, and the Sword, and the Battel. Thou art more glorious and excellent then the Mountains of prey. At thy rebuke O God of Jacob, both the Chariot and Horse are cast into a dead sleep.
As a Judg, at ver. 8. Thou didst cause Judgment to be heard from Heaven, the Earth feared and was still: When God arose to Judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
But if God do thus appear, to, and for, and with his people, why doth he suffer the wrath and anger of men to be so much against his people?
Why he answers it in ver. 10. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee, the remainder of wrath thou shalt restrain. Though God do suffer the Enemies of his people to be very angry and wrathful with his people, yet that wrath of theirs shall turn unto the praise of God, and the remainder of their wrath God will restrain. From whence then I take up this Observation.
