Description of God:
The Lord is righteous (:4)
Deeds of God:
“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
The plowers plowed on my back;
They made their furrows long.”
The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. (:2-4)
Fate of haters of Zion:
Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back.
Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, with which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.
Neither let those who pass by them say,
“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!” (:8)
The enemies of God's people have very barbarously endeavoured to wear out the saints of the Most High. But the church has been always graciously delivered. Christ has built His church upon a rock. And the Lord has many ways of disabling wicked men from doing the mischief they design against His church. The Lord is righteous in not suffering Israel to be ruined; He has promised to preserve a people to himself.
