9. Do unto them as unto the Midianites. Faith
delights to light upon precedents, and quote them before the Lord; in the
present instance, Asaph found a very appropriate one, for the nations in both
cases were very much the same, and the plight of the Israelites very similar.
Yet Midian perished, and the psalmist trusted that Israel’s present foes would
meet with the like overthrow from the hand of the Lord. As to Sisera, as toJabin, at the brook of Kison. The hosts were swept away by the suddenly
swollen torrent, and utterly perished; which was a second instance of divine
vengeance upon confederated enemies of Israel. When God wills it, a brook can
be as deadly as a sea.
