WHO are intended by the Wicked, who are here described? — All the fallen and sinful Children of Men have a share in the description. Sank Court may have a peculiar share. But some Jewish Expositors, have a notable hint, That the Holy Spirit intends yet more particularly, the Romish Babylon; by which the Israel of God, was to be oppressed, until the Second Coming of the Messiah, when the Salvation of Israel is to come out of Zion, and the Lord will bring back the Captivity of His People. How elegan•• then, how appositely, how convictively, and with how much cogency, does the Apostle choose the Passages of this very Psalm, in writing unto the Romans, to co• vince them of their being such sinful Creatures as at here described?
