To lift up our own heads, is to prevail, and to get above pressing evils victoriously, Judg. 8.28. Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more: That is, Gideon routed and made so complete a conquest over the Midianites, that they were totally broken, and could no more insult over Israel. The victory of Christ over all our spiritual enemies, is thus described, Psal. 110.7. He shall drink of the brook in the way; that is, of the waters of affliction and sorrow, which either the wrath of God, or the rage of men gave him to drink, while he was in the way of perfecting the work of our redemption; and ⟨p. 546⟩because he shall do this, Therefore shall be lift up his head, that is, he shall prevail by his passion, and overcome by dying, yea, he shall overcome death by a triumphant resurrection.
