10. Therefore his people return hither. God’s
people are driven to fly to his throne for shelter; the saints come to their
Lord laden with complaints on account of the persecutions which they endure
from these proud and graceless men. And waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. Though beloved of God, they have to drain the bitter cup; their
sorrows are as full as the wicked man’s prosperity. It grieves them greatly to
see the enemies of God so high, and themselves so low; yet the Lord does not
alter his dispensations, but continues still to chasten his children, and
indulge his foes. The medicine cup is not for rebels, but for those whom
Jehovah loves.
