Listen from:
From this Psalm to the end of the Book is the great chorus of praise to Jah, the Lord—the Jehovah, or eternal One of Creation, and of Israel, of which Israel was made, dispensationally, the tried and blessed head—Messiah as of the earth and of the flesh, coming of them, and coming to them—and, withal, the Lord's earthly sanctuary being in the midst of them, the center of the blessing, and the peculiar place of nearness.
The Deliverer and Executor of judgment—Zion's God, the Lord—Messiah announces Him thus, He only could; they were the objects of it.
This Psalm begins the course of extolling of praise. This is all properly millennial. This first is Messiah leading the praise of Israel; and, though Zion and Jerusalem be the center, it includes the whole, saved house of Israel. The deliverance of Israel is the celebration of the character and greatness of Jehovah, and of the foolishness and nothingness of man. The God of Jacob, though, made heaven and earth.
7-9. Here His character is displayed in His dealings to Israel. "Praise the Lord, 0 my soul," is Messiah's taking part in it, and marks Him.
