Ver. 9. We see not our signs] Those testimonies of God's special favour, the public ordinances, together with the legal ceremonies, which was then Christ in figure, q.d. we are utterly benighted as to thee-ward.
There is no more any prophet, &c.] Hence some conclude that this psalm was written about the end of the Babylonish captivity, when there was Chathimath Chazon, a sealing up of prophecy, as Daniel 12:9, unless it were so that they had prophets, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, &c., but took no notice of them, through extremity of calamity, as Isaiah 59:10 .
Neither is there among us any] The want of the word, the stopping of the true ministers' mouths, &c., should touch us to the quick.
