Bible Comments

It should seem as if this formed a second part of the Psalm, or rather a new one. Here we behold Christ again, as before represented in the days of his flesh, with strong crying, and tears. God the Father had promised that he should not fail nor be discouraged, until that he had set judgment in the earth; and therefore all along we find, in the strong cries of Christ, to this covenant engagement he had recourse.

Oh! how blessed it is to trace Christ in all these scriptures. Thanks be God, we may truly say here, as in a thousand other instances, for his unspeakable gift, in thus teaching us by his blessed Spirit the things concerning Jesus. 2 Corinthians 9:15.
