36. The seed also of his servant shall inherit it. Under this image, which we dare not regard as a mere simile, we have
the enrichment of the saints, consequent upon the sorrow of their Lord. The
termination of this psalm strongly recalls that of Psalm 22. The seed lie near the Saviour’s heart, and their
enjoyment of all promised good is the great concern of his disinterested soul.
Because they are his Father’s servants, therefore he rejoices in their welfare.
And they that love his name shall dwell therein. He has an eye to the Father’s
glory, for it is to his praise that those who love him should attain, and
forever enjoy, the utmost happiness. Thus a psalm which began in deep waters
ends in the city which has foundations.
