Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 75:3

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved , I bear up the pillars of it , Selah.

Or melted, consumed or destroyed; Partly, by the ill Government of Saul and Ishbosheth, and the great Officers of State and War under them; and Partly, by intestine Divisions and Wars.

Howsoever I am traduced by mine Enemies as the great disturber of the Land, I must do my self this Right to affirm that under God, I do support and Establish it, by maintaining Religion and Justice, and by setting up good Magistrates, and encouraging good Ministers, and good Men, which are indeed the Pillars of a Nation.
