18. Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord. Against
thee, the ever glorious Maker of all things, have they spoken. This is forcible
pleading indeed. Jehovah will surely glorify his own name. And that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. The meanness of the enemy is here
pleaded. Sinners are fools, and will fools be allowed to insult the Lord and
oppress his people? When error grows too bold its day is near, and its fall
certain. Arrogance foreshadows ripeness of evil, and the next step is
rottenness. Instead of being alarmed when bad men grow worse and more
audacious, we may reasonably take heart, for the hour of their judgment is
evidently near.
