EXPOSITION.
God rebukes before he destroys, but when he once comes to
blows with the wicked he ceases not until he has dashed them in
pieces so small that their very name is forgotten, and like a
noisome snuff their remembrance is put out for ever and ever. How
often the word "thou" occurs in this and the former verse, to
show us that the grateful strain mounts up directly to the Lord
as doth the smoke from the altar when the air is still. My soul
send up all the music of all thy powers to him who has been and
is thy sure deliverance.
EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.
Verse 5.--"_Thou hast rebuked the heathen_,"
etc.--Augustine applieth all this mystically, as is intimated
(verse #1|) that it should be applied for, "I will speak," said
he, "of all thy wonderful works;" and what so wonderful as the
turning of the spiritual enemy backward, whether the devil, as
when he said, "Get thee behind me, Satan;" or the old man, which
is turned backward when he is put off, and the new man put
on?--^John Mayer.
