Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 38-52 - Sometimes it is not easy to reconcile God's providences with his promises, yet we are sure that God's works fulfil his word. When the great Anointed One, Christ himself, was upon the cross, God seemed to have cast him off, yet did not make void his covenant, for that wa established for ever. The honour of the house of David was lost Thrones and crowns are often laid in the dust; but there is a crown of glory reserved for Christ's spiritual seed, which fadeth not away. From all this complaint learn what work sin makes with families, nobl families, with families in which religion has appeared. They plead with God for mercy. God's unchangeableness and faithfulness assure us tha He will not cast off those whom he has chosen and covenanted with. The were reproached for serving him. The scoffers of the latter days, i like manner, reproach the footsteps of the Messiah when they ask, Wher is the promise of his coming? 2Pe 3:3, 4. The records of the Lord' dealings with the family of David, show us his dealings with his church, and with believers. Their afflictions and distresses may be grievous, but he will not finally cast them off. Self-deceivers abus this doctrine, and others by a careless walk bring themselves int darkness and distress; yet let the true believer rely on it for encouragement in the path of duty, and in bearing the cross. The psal ends with praise, even after this sad complaint. Those who give God thanks for what he has done, may give him thanks for what he will do God will follow those with his mercies, who follow him with praises __________________________________________________________________
