Praise for the Subjection of Moab
v. 9. And it shall be said in that day, namely, the day of final deliverance, at the end of time, Lo, this is our God, He upon whom we can place our confidence in unwavering certainty; we have waited for Him, and He will save us, they depended upon Him to save them and were not disappointed. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation, which the believers will experience and enjoy at that time.
v. 10. For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, not only to protect Zion, His Church, but also to effect her revenge, and Moab, representing the sneering enemies of the Church, shall be trodden down under Him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill, to be saturated and rotted by the water of the dung-pit.
v. 11. And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, Moab, representing the hostile forces of the world, trying to save himself by a desperate struggle, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his bands to swim, in an unavailing effort. And He, Jehovah, shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands, in spite of all artful attempts of Moab to effect his own deliverance.
v. 12. And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls, the strongholds of Moab, shall He bring down, utterly overthrowing them, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust. Thus all the enemies of the Lord will finally be destroyed with the everlasting destruction of the wrath of the just God, while the city of God, the congregation of believers, will triumph with Him in all eternity.
