ILLUSTRATIONS on the LXXXIII. PSALM.
WAS the Psalm composed on the Combination made against the Church in the days of Jehoshaphat? And was the Writer of it, either Jabaziel one of Asaph's Posterity inspired on this Occasion? Or some other in those days whose proper Name was Asaph? Or, does the Psalm take in all the Attempts made after ⟨p. 221⟩that, until that made by the Assyrian, who came to do what the rest had not been able to do? Then Dr. Patrick thinks the Asaph who lived in the days of Hezekiah, may pass for the Author. But after all, Dr. Allix here sees a Prayer against the Followers of Antichrist, and of Mahomet, who have sought the Ruin of the Jewish Nation, and the Conquest of their Country. Compare the last Verse with Zech. XIV. 9. which is to be accomplished, after the Destruction of the Idumaans, and the Ishmaelites; which are the Two Parties aforesaid.
