Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 89:18

18 For the LORD is our defence: and the holy one of Israel is our king .

This Verse gives a reason of the Psalmists confidence that their horn would be exalted.

Having therefore so potent a friend, we have no reason to despair of our restitution to our former selic[illegible: 1+ letters]y. Or, as the words may well be, and are by divers, rendred, Of or From the Lord is or was our shield, (to wit, our King, as it is explained in the next branch of the Verse, compared with Psal. 47. 10.) and of or from the holy one of Israel (i. e. the Lord, who is oft so called) is or was our King. He gave us our King and Royal Family at first, and therefore he can easily restore it when he sees it fit.

Marginal references: O[illegible: 1+ letters]r [illegible: 1 word] of the [illegible: 1 word] and our [illegible: 1 word] of the [illegible: 1 word] of Is.
