ILLUSTRATIONS on the XCI. PSALM.
Satan himself owned the Psalm to refer to the Messiah. From the Eleventh Verse in the Psalm the Jews fetch their Maxim, That the Messiah shall be greater than any of the Ministering Angels. Our Saviour gave to His Apostles the Powers here mentioned, over Serpents. The last Verse refers plainly to the Resurrection. Dr. Patrick thinks the Psalm to have been Penned at the time of the Great Pestilence towards the End of David's Reign. But then by Gad rather than David.
