To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Ver. 8. To bind their kings with chains] Restraining their vices, and bringing them to the obedience of faith. See Isaiah 45:14. This is doubtless a desirable servitude, or rather freedom; this is not as chains and fetters, but as girdles and garters, to gird up their loins, and to expedite their course the better.
