9. When God arose to judgment. Men were
hushed when he ascended the judgment-seat and actively carried out the decrees
of justice. When God is still, the people are in tumult; when he arises they
are still as a stone. To save all the meek of the earth. The Ruler of
men has a special eye towards the poor and despised; he makes it his first
point to right all their wrongs. “Blessed
are the meek, for they shah inherit the earth.” They have little enough of it now, but their avenger is strong and he
will surely save them. He who saves his people is the same God who overthrew
their enemies; he is as omnipotent to save as to destroy. Glory be unto his
name. Selah. Here pause, and let devout contemplations adore the God of
Jacob.
