ILLUSTRATIONS on the CXLVII. PSALM.
Jerusalem is here supposed as re-established, and the Marks of the Divine Presence and Blessing in the midst of it, fixed; and the Jewish Nation gathered. It is an Hymn of Thanksgiving for this Revolution. The Condition of the Christians turned Heathens at this time, under the Wrath of the Messiah, is bewailed.

4 Kimchi says, The Stars are the Just mentioned, Dan. XII. 3. who shall be then employed in Turning many to Righteousness. Arnobius has a Gloss a little akin to it. Numerare Multitudinem stellarum eum credamus, in Sanctis. Dr. Patrick's Paraphrase is; Whom He knows how to gather out of all their Dispersions, and to find every one of them, wherever they are, tho' as numerous as the Stars of Heaven. [Gen. XV. 5.] which He as distinctly and exactly understands (how confused soever they seem to us to be scattered in the Sky,) as we do those things which we call by their proper Names. Munster's Gloss is the same, Eadem facilitate qua stellas in Caelo dispersas mmerat.
