17. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand. Give a commission to some chosen man by whom thou wilt deliver. Honor
him, save us, and glorify thyself. There is no doubt here an outlook to the
Messiah, for whom believing Jews had learned to look as the Saviour in time of
trouble. Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. Send
forth thy power with him whom thou shalt strengthen to accomplish thy purposes
of grace. It is by the man Christ Jesus that fallen Israel is yet to rise, and
indeed through him, who deigns to call himself the Son of Man, the world is to
be delivered from the dominion of Satan and the curse of sin. O Lord, fulfill
thy promise to the man of thy right hand, who participates in thy glory, and
give him to see the pleasure of the Lord prospering in his hand.
