51. Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord. Here is another forcible
point; the scoffers are the Lord’s enemies as well as ours, and their reproach
falls upon him as well as upon us. Wherefore they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Not only watching his words and actions, but
even his harmless steps. Neither Christ nor his church can please the world;
whichever way we turn scoffers will rail. Does this verse refer to the delays
of the Messiah, those long-expected footfalls which as yet are unheard?
