The voice of the Lord settles all question of power. The Psalms which follow, up to Psa. 41 inclusive, give the full exercise of the soul of the Remnant in adversity—in integrity—forgiveness known, specially of Christ, the true Remnant—the wicked being in power, chastening, treachery, and certainty of security in Jehovah—faithfulness also in declaring His righteousness. Thus it is the Spirit of Christ, sometimes expressing what passed in His own heart, sometimes sympathizing with the Remnant in the latter day, and urging on them the same constancy in Jehovah, as, for example, Psa. 34 and 37; returning then to the consciousness of His own sorrows, out of which He was called to apply the faithfulness of the Lord to the sorrows of His poor afflicted, and, alas! too unfaithful, but cherished and beloved Remnant—He also in the same position of dependence as in Psa. 35 at the end; see also the end of Psa. 40
The Lord is not silent. He not only saves His people, but strangers, even the mighty of the earth, must come and submit themselves. His temple now is where all have His glory for their theme! Jehovah is above all motion of the people! Jehovah is King! Jehovah not only saves but gives strength to His people, for they are connected with Him! Yet victory, being complete, gives them the blessing of peace. Jehovah must be victorious and blessed, but this people are connected with Jehovah. It is still Jehovah, and His glorious sanctuary (see margin, verse 2), the mighty are to own. It is the universal assumption, within its power, by the Voice of the Lord of all things.
