PSALM 108
We have here the full political arrangement under the glory of Christ — God is to be exalted. Messiah, as Man, addresses God, and the Lord Himself, with God, making His glory as Man the expression of what He is thereto subservient. The Lord among the peoples as Chief of Israel, for His mercy is above the heavens, and His truth above all seats and ways of authority, or appearances which may pass through the heavens — He, even God, is to be exalted that His Beloved, the Messiah, Israel in Him, may be delivered. The right hand of God’s power is to be manifested.
— 3. “Ammim” (peoples), and “l’ummim” (the nations).
— 7. God, Elohim, answers “in his holiness”, from which He cannot depart; thus generally.
— 10. Edom is singled out, long, and specially now, hostile, see Obadiah 1, Obadiah 3, Obadiah 7; and Messiah, in the name of Israel, demands who will go out and bring Him into Edom, the centre of hostile power — so in many passages. Man’s help now vain, God will do it — God’s immutable glory leaving all earthly appearances far behind, and producing its own upon the earth. Israel concludes, thus encouraged, “Through God we shall do valiantly”.
— 11. For the last part see Psalm 60:10, the same words, and I suppose rightly there, but query.
