ILLUSTRATIONS on the XXIX. PSALM.
WAS not the Psalm composed by David, after some extraordinary Lightning and Thunder and Rain; which had perhaps assisted the Discomfiture of His Enemies? One looks on it as an Exhortation to the Princes of the Earth, to submit unto the re-established Kingdom of the Messiah. And the Voice here may be the Report of the wonders done in that Matter. Compare, Jer. XXV. 31. A Noise from the ends of the Earth.
