4–19. In most poetical language the psalmist now
describes his experience of Jehovah’s delivering power. Poetry has in all her
treasures no gem more lustrous than the following verses; the sorrow, the cry,
the descent of the Divine One, and the rescue of the afflicted, are here set to
a music worthy of the golden harps. The Messiah our Saviour is evidently, over
and beyond David or any other believer, the main and chief subject of this
song; and while studying it we have grown more and more sure that every line
here has its deepest and profoundest fulfillment in him; but as we are desirous
not to extend our comment beyond moderate bounds, we must leave it with the
devout reader to make the very easy application of the passage to our once
distressed but now triumphant Lord.
