This Psalm is at once the distress and confidence of Messiah, when identified with the sorrows of the Jews-the Remnant- when ready to be swallowed up. Its result, in full manifestation of the divine power in the heavens, and His glory over all the earth, is manifest.
6. The reader of the Psalms must be familiar with this verse, as the destruction of the enemies in the latter day.
9. Ammim (peoples).
Here, in the same troubles and increased, the godly man looks higher—not only trusting in faithfulness in the word, but the Daystar has arisen in his heart, for the night, if long and dark, is far spent, until these calamities be overpast—to heaven, the earth is full of wickedness, but God shall send from heaven. Accordingly, at the close the praise is not varied but from a fixed heart, and called to awake, and praise, among the people (ammim), proposed “For thy mercy," etc.
11. This is the actual millennial glory, viewed as in the glory of God, and Messiah deserving it for His God's sake—yet in fact He who sought it for God; in Himself, only and really is it accomplished. It is thus a beautiful Psalm. Verse 3 well brings out the beautiful expression of His position. These calamities evidently are the situation of the full development of evil in that day. The principle is ever true for the Spirit of Christ—it is then manifested.
