This Psalm is the utterance of the Jewish Remnant brought near the kingdom and given faith to see what the result of their salvation will be upon the world generally. (See Hos. 1:2; Psa. 85; Isa. 2:2; 11:9-10.) The “Redeemer of Israel” is to be the “God of the whole earth” (Isa. 54:5).
Two lessons the world is to be taught through Israel—righteousness, from the divine judgments in behalf of Israel on the nations (Isa. 26:9); grace, from the divine goodness towards Israel itself (Jer. 33:9). It is the second of these the Remnant here desires the world may learn. And at this time also, the saints, glorified together and like Jesus in heaven, will teach the world to know the love, the wondrous love, of the Father, and that it was the Father who sent Jesus. This will be the highest, deepest lesson, and told out by the heavenly children. (John 17:22-23.)
The desire of the Remnant in this animated little Psalm is, we may just add, very fervent and happy. They, as it were, “magnify their office,” like the Apostle celebrating the great results of their own God giving them His blessing. And we know that the receiving of them will be nothing less to the whole world but life from the dead. (Rom. 11:15.)
