This Psalm views the enemy prevailing, externally, in violence, breaking down the sanctuary and defiling it to the ground.
3. It is oyev (the enemy) who did this, but the zor'rim (enemies) are in the midst of the congregations—" they set up their signs for signs."
9. God's people had no signs.
10. Both characters of the enemy are introduced; in verses 18-20, the Lord, the covenant, and the beloved people are introduced.
12. The ancient deliverances of Israel having been mentioned, the enemy that reproaches Jehovah's name is oyev.
The character of Asaph's Psalms, exceedingly confirmed to me with that of the whole Book, has been noticed. It appears to me that this Psalm represents the position of the Remnant's understanding, upon the evil doings of the enemy (Antichrist), yet in the perception of the rising up of the tumult of all of them; but the reference of the believer is to God in it. It would appear the temple would be destroyed, quod nota. Though one as to hostility to the Jew, we may remark distinction in verses 3 and 4, "enemy "; also the last two verses seem to maintain the distinction; verses 18 and 22 again identify—the same thing as is also in verse 3. In that alone (v. 18) also is Jehovah brought in in respect of the reproach upon and blasphemy of His name. A “putting in remembrance " is the tenor of this Psalm—a calling in God, in the spirit of intercession on the part of the Spirit representing the Jewish Remnant before God. The whole is exceedingly instructive in this light, as well as to the prophetic import.
