Psalms28:5

Verſ. 5. Becauſe they regard not the works of the Lord] that is, ſaith Kimchi, the worſhip of God they care not for; but follow the vanities of the World. Or, the works of God in heaven and earth; the conſideration whereof is a part of Gods worſhip. Or, they regard not the works of the Lord, that is, the firſt making: nor The operation of his hands] that is, the preſent diſpoſing of his Creatures, either by way of mercy, or judgement, whereof theſe brutiſh perſons make no obſervation at all, Pſa. 92.5, 6, 7. Iſa. 5.12. particularly they neither regard my preſent affliction, Amos 6.6. nor beleeve my future exaltation to the Throne, as God hath promiſed mee; but oppoſe it all they can; and would gladly prevent it, which yet they cannot, but will bee found fighters againſt God.

Hee ſhall deſtroy them, and not build them up] Deſtroy them in this World, and not build them up in the World to come, ſay the Rabbines. Or, as others, he ſhall break them down, as men do old rotten ruinous houſes,Jun. and never more repair or rebuild them. Non poteſt Deus non perdere judicuis ſuis, qui non crudiuntur documentis. They that will not be ruled, ſhall bee ruined. See 1 Sam. 2.25.
