ILLUSTRATIONS on the XLV. PSALM.
Behold the Marriage of the Jewish Church unto the Messiah, when she shall be recalled and restored unto the favour of GOD. Compare the III. Chapter of Jeremiah. R. David Kimchi, has wondrous Confessions, That the Loves in the Psalm, are the Loves of GOD unto His CHRIST; That the Kings Daughters are the Nations of the Farth, Subject unto the Messiah; and the Queen among them is Israel. Others of the Rabbi's; but above all, the Chaldee Paraphrase; are full in their Applications of the Psalm to the Messiah. Yea, according to the Chaldee, in the Psalm now before us, the Messiah is GOD; and in the LIII. of Isaiah, the Messiah is Man. Wonderful! O Christian, How does thy Religion triumph over its Adversaries!
