EXPOSITION.
He who gives no quarter to the wicked in the day of
judgment, is the defence and refuge of his saints in the day of
trouble. There are many forms of oppression; both from man and
from Satan oppression come to us; and for all its forms, a refuge
is provided in the Lord Jehovah. There were cities of refuge
under the law, God is our refuge-city under the gospel. As the
ships when vexed with tempest make for harbour, so do the
oppressed hasten to the wings of a just and gracious God. He is a
high tower so impregnable, that the hosts of hell cannot carry it
by storm, and from its lofty heights faith looks down with scorn
upon her enemies.
EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.
Verse 9.--It is reported of the Egyptians that, living in
the fens, and being vexed with gnats, they used to sleep in high
towers, whereby, those creatures not being able to soar so high,
they are delivered from the biting of them: so would it be with
us when bitten with cares and fear, did we but run to God for
refuge, and rest confident of his help.--^John Trapp.
HINTS TO PREACHERS.
Verse 9.--Needy people, needy times, all sufficient
provision.
