This whole Psalm then is a Prophecy of the Messiah, and absolutely of no other, as § 43 may further be evidenced from sundry passages in the Psalm it self. For first, it treats of one in whom the welfare of the whole Church was concerned; they are therefore all of them invited to praise the Lord on his account, and for the event and success of his sufferings which they had the benefit of, v. 22, 23, Secondly, it is he, by whom the meek shall be satisfied, and obtain life eternal, v. 26. Thirdly, upon his sufferings, as the event and success of them the Gentiles are to be gathered in unto God, v. 27. All the ends of the World shall remember and turn unto the Lord, and all the kindreds of the ⟨p. 228⟩Nations shall worship before thee. And this by the confession of the Jews is the proper work of the Messiah, to be effected in his days and by him alone. Fourthly, The preaching of the Truth and Righteousness and Faithfulness of God in his Promise unto all Nations, that is of the Gospel, ensues on the sufferings described, v. 31. which they also acknowledge to belong unto his days: So that it is the Messiah and he alone, who is absolutely and ultimately intended in this Psalm.
