31. Down to the moment when this psalm was penned the house of Phinehas was
honored in Israel. His faith had performed a valorous deed, and his
righteousness was testified of the Lord, and honored by the continuance of his
family in the priesthood. He was impelled by motives so pure that what would
otherwise have been a deed of blood was justified in the sight of God; indeed,
thus was made the evidence that Phinehas was righteous. No personal
ambition, or private revenge, or selfish passion, or even fanatical bigotry,
inspired the man of God; but zeal for God, indignation at open filthiness, and
true patriotism urged him on.
