ILLUSTRATIONS on the LXXXII. PSALM.
IT appears by the last Verse of the Psalm, that it relates to the Time of the Divine Vengeance on the Antichristian Powers. It contains an Exhortation unto those Powers to follow Righteousness; and foretells their total Destruction, when the Messiah shall come to establish His Empire. Dr. Patrick refers the Psalm to the days of Hezekiah; and makes it an Admonition unto the Judges then, to be more careful of their Duty, and Remember GOD who Judges them.
