A greater than either David or Solomon is here. In this sublimely grand and delightful Song, CHRIST is seen as the "darling" of GOD. "Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul. . . . my darling from the lions."
The imprecatory passages in this entrancing hymn may be understood and appreciated only in the light of coming days. The wrath of GOD shall be poured out upon all enemies of CHRIST and Israel. "Let them be confounded," will then be perfectly fulfilled. "Let them be turned back. . . let them be as chaff. . . let their way be dark . . . let destruction come. . . and my soul shall be joyful," are all inspired prayers to be prayed, heard, and fully answered in coming days.
Only in the light of coming events, which even now are casting their shadows before, can such utterances be expounded and understood. All CHRIST rejecters, Bible haters, and holiness fighters who "wink with the eye," who "devise deceitful matters," and who sneeringly repeat their "Aha, aha's," shall then be given according to their deeds and diabolisms. All the abominable "Aha's" and "Ah's" and wicked "winkings," shall become woes beyond words to describe.
