Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 2. Yet they have not prevailed ] They endeavoured to annihilate us as a people; but God still preserves us as his own nation.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - The enemies of God's people have very barbarously endeavoured to wea out the saints of the Most High. But the church has been alway graciously delivered. Christ has built his church upon a rock. And the Lord has many ways of disabling wicked men from doing the mischief the design against his church. The Lord is righteous in not sufferin Israel to be ruined; he has promised to preserve a people to himself.
