10. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee. Human breath of threatening is but blowing the trumpet of the Lord’s
eternal fame. Let men and devils rage as they may, they cannot do otherwise
than subserve the divine purposes. The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Malice is tethered and cannot break its bounds. The fire which
cannot be utilized will be damped. Some read it, “thou shalt gird,” as if
the Lord girded on the wrath of man as a sword to be used for his own designs,
and certainly men of the world are often a sword in the hand of God, to scourge
others. Even the most rampant evil is under the control of the Lord, and will
in the end be overruled for his praise.
