• That which will be useful to remark is, how entirely the government of the world is connected with Israel. God Most High is a great King over all the earth. Then the peoples and nations are subdued under Israel, and God chooses the inheritance for the remnant of His people—His beloved Jacob. But this issues in the praises of God Himself, awakens praise in His people, and whatever the blessings and glory of God's people, their great delight is in the glory of God Himself. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 45-48” by J.N. Darby)
