Psalms 81:13-15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

So Jesus wept over Jerusalem! And had Israel then, or upon the occasion which this Psalm records, hearkened unto the Lord, the temporal prosperity of Israel would have continued. For, I beg the Reader to observe, that in both instances it is of temporal prosperity the Lord evidently speaks. Here it is of feeding them with fine wheat, and honey out of the rock; and there, in Christ's days, it is of preserving Jerusalem from being visited by the destruction of the sword. Luke 19:41-44.

Psalms 81:13-15

13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

15 The haters of the LORD should have submittedb themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
