Psalms14:7
Verſ. 7. O that the Salvation of Iſrael, &c.] This is the ſecond part of the Pſalm, wherein David prayeth to God to deliver his Iſrael out of the hands of thoſe Atheiſts, and Oppreſſors. The whole Church muſt be remembred in our prayers,Sanhed. c. 11. and that ancient people of God the Jews not forgotten. Many of their Rabbins make this whole Pſalm a Prophecie of their diſperſion among the Genitles their Oppreſſors; and this, a prayer for their reſtauration. For our ſins, ſay they, which are many, the coming of the Meſſiah (that Salvation of Iſrael) is deferred; the time of his coming is ſealed up, Dan. 12.4. Verum enimverò Deus nos dignabitur clariſſima viſione cum reducet Zionem; tunc intelligemus res ipſas prout ſunt, ſaith Jachiades on that Text: but God ſhall give us a clear ſight of all things, when he ſhall bring back Zion, &c. This is truth, and we muſt haſten that time by our heartieſt wiſhes for that obdurate people, that a Redeemer would come to them out of Zion. Rom. 11.26. that the covering caſt over that people might be deſtroyed, Iſa. 25.7. and a general joy conceived throughout all the Churches for their happy re-admiſſion.
Out of Zion] i.e. Out of the Church, whence all good cometh; and ſuch bleſſings as are better than all elſe that Heaven or Earth affordeth, Pſal. 134.3.
