4. And in thy majesty ride prosperously. The hero
monarch armed and appareled is now intreated to ascend his triumphal car. Would
to God that our Immanuel would come forth in the chariot of love to conquer our
spiritual foes and seize by power the souls whom he has bought with blood. Because of truth and meekness and righteousness. These words may be rendered, “ride forth upon truth and meekness and righteousness.” It is a most potent argument to urge with our Lord that the cause of
the true, the humble, and the good calls for his advocacy. Truth will be
ridiculed, meekness oppressed, and righteousness slain unless the God, the Man
in whom these precious things are incarnated, arises for their vindication. Our
earnest petition ought ever to be that Jesus lay his almighty arm to the work
of grace lest the good cause languish and wickedness prevail. And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. The psalmist prophesies that the
uplifted arm of Messiah will reveal to the King’s own eyes the terrible
overthrow of his foes. Jesus needs no guide but his own right hand, no teacher
but his own might; may he instruct us all in what he can perform, by achieving
it speedily before our gladdened eyes.
