By “the rod” is here meant “the scepter.” The wicked shall not permanently rule over the righteous; they may have a temporary dominion and sovereignty; but, in due season, their rod shall be broken, and their power shall be scattered to the winds.
Psalms 125:4-5. Do good O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
May we have faith to lay hold upon that last blood promise, and so enjoy the peace of God which passeth all understanding! Amen!
This exposition consisted of readings from Psalms 123, 124, 125.
