Behold at evening-tide trouble; and before the morning he is not: at even there is a great terror and consternation among God's people, for fear of their enemies; and ere the morning cometh, their enemies are cut off by the hand of God. This was literally and eminently fulfilled in the destruction of Sennacherib's army before Jerusalem. Although the words may be more generally understood of any great and sudden change, and unexpected deliverance, granted to God's people, when their enemies were ready to devour them. And this place may be compared with that in Psalms 30:5, Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us: this is a triumphant conclusion, uttered by the prophet in the name of God's people.
