1. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance. It is the cry of amazement at sacrilegious intrusion, as if the poet
were struck with terror. All Canaan is thy land, but thy foes have ravaged it. They have laid Jerusalem on heaps. It is sad to see the foe in our own house,
but worse to meet him in the house of God; they strike hardest who smite at our
religion. The psalmist knew how to bring out the strong points of his case. We
ought to order our case before the Lord with as much ease as if our success
depended on our pleading.
