He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet - i:e., the nations who league together against us, as distinguished from the 'peoples' (Psalms 47:1) whom Israel calls to join in praise for the deliverance. The original passage is Deuteronomy 32:43; cf. Psalms 18:38; Psalms 18:47; Psalms 18:49. Not a work of grace, whereby men's prejudices are overcome, and their hearts won to the Lord, is here spoken of, but a work of judgment on adversaries (Isaiah 60:14; Isaiah 62:10; Isaiah 63:1).
