27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people. This is
a comforting assurance for the poor in spirit whose spiritual griefs admit of
no sufficient solace from any other than a divine hand. They cannot save
themselves, nor can others do it, but God will save them. But wilt bringdown high looks. Those who look down on others with scorn will be looked
down on with contempt before long. The Lord abhors a proud look. What a reason
for repentance and humiliation! A considerable number of clauses occur in this
passage in the future tense; how forcibly are we thus brought to remember that
our present joy or sorrow is not to have so much weight with us as the great
and eternal future!
