17. Without Jehovah’s help the psalmist declares that he would have died
outright, and gone into the silent land, where no more testimonies can be borne
for the living God. Or he may mean that he would not have had a word to speak
against his enemies, but would have been wrapped in speechless shame. Blessed
be God, we are not left to that condition yet, for the Almighty Lord is still
the helper of those who look to him. Our inmost soul is bowed down when we see
the victories of the Lord’s enemies—we cannot brook it, we cover our mouths in
confusion; but he will yet arise and avenge his own cause, therefore have we
hope.
