Secondly, The sense and intendment of the Psalmist in these words is to be considered, and that resolves it self into three general parts. 1. An Exhortation or Admonition. Israel hope in the Lord, or expect Jehovah. 2. A ground of Encouragement unto the performance of the Duty exhorted unto; Because with the Lord there is much, plenteous, abundant, precious Redemption. 3. A gracious Promise of a blessed issue which shall be given unto the performance of this duty. He shall redeem Israel from all his sins, and out of all his troubles.

In the Exhortation there occurs,
1. The persons exhorted; that is, Israel; not Israel according to the flesh; for they are not all Israel which are of Israel, Rom. 9. 6. But it is the Israel mentioned, Psal. 73. 1. The whole Israel of God to whom he is good, such as are of a clean heart; that is, all those who are interested in the Covenant, and do inherit the promise of their forefathers who was first called by that name? All Believers; and the Psalmist treats them all in general in this matter.
