8. Here we return to the fount of
bitterness which first made the psalmist run to the wells of salvation, namely,
the prevalence of wickedness. When those in power are vile, their underlings
will be no better. Would to God that the glory and triumph of our Lord Jesus
would encourage us to walk and work on every side; as like acts upon like, since
an exalted sinner encourages sinners, our exalted Redeemer must surely excite,
cheer, and stimulate his saints. Nerved by a sight of his reigning power we
shall meet the evils of the times in the spirit of holy resolution, and shall
the more hopefully pray, “Help, Lord.”
