Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
Ver. 10. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee] As when Sennacherib's army was destroyed, the Israelites sang praise, yea, the Egyptians built altars, as Isaiah 19:19. God by his wisdom ordereth and draweth the blind and brute motions of the worst creatures unto his own honour; as the huntsman doth the rage of the dog to his pleasure; or the mariner the blowing of the wind to his voyage; or the artist, the heat of the fire to his work; or the physician, the bloodthirstiness of the leech to a cure, saith a reverend man.
The remainder of wrath shall thou restrain] Heb. shall thou gird; that is, curb and keep within compass. The Greek hath it, εορταζει σοι, it shall keep holy day to thee; that is, cease from working, or acting outwardly, how restless soever it be within.
