4. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me. Zion’s old foes are new-born and have become her friends, worshiping in
the temple of her God. Some consider that these are the words of God himself,
and should be rendered, “I will
mention Rahab and Babylon as knowing me,” but we feel content with our common version, and attribute the words
to the psalmist himself, who anticipates the conversion of the two great rival
nations and speaks of it with exultation. Behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia. These also are to bow before the Lord. This man was born there. That is, this nation has been born into Zion, regenerated into the
church of God. The new births of nations it is at once a great blessing and a
great wonder.
