Psalms 64:7-10

I have not interrupted the progress of these verses, in order that the Reader, after having finished the perusal of the whole, may mark their connection. There is a beautiful climax of order in the relation. The wicked are described as planning their schemes in secret: who shall see them, who shall know their contrivances? None but God. He shall not only see, but punish them; yea, out of their own mouth their villanies shall be discovered. And the consequence shall be, that the righteous shall see the final issue and rejoice, and ascribe the whole glory to God. How strikingly was this displayed in the case of the Jews after our Lord's crucifixion, in the destruction of themselves and their beloved Jerusalem! How frequently is it manifested in private life, when, after the long persecution of the faithful by the ungodly, the Lord suddenly appears for the defense of his servants! And how fully and completely will the whole issue of the divine providence be manifested, when Christ shall appear to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all that believe! While the church shout their songs of victory, Satan's everlasting destruction will form a part in their remembrance before the throne. The song is already given to the church, and will be sung in full chorus in the great day of God: Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. Revelation 12:10.
