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.
Observ. Though there be a great deal of anger or wrath in the hearts of men against the people of God: Yet God will either turn their wrath unto his own praise, or restrain their wrath.
