Psalm 115:2
Read Psalm 115:2 Using Other Translations
What does Psalm 115:2 mean?
Wherefore should the Heathen say
The nations about Israel, the nations of the world; the Gentiles
in any age; the Papists in ours, sometimes called the Heathen, (
Psalms
10:16 ) ( Revelation
11:2 Revelation
11:18 ) . The church expostulates with the Lord why those
should be suffered to say, in a reproachful, insulting, manner,
and by way of triumph,
where is now their God?
that they have boasted of would help them; in whom they have put
their trust and confidence; why does not he help them, as he has
promised, and they expect? Thus the church suggests, that if the
Lord did not appear for them, his own glory lay at stake. Such
language is generally used by their enemies, when the people of
God were in any distress; see ( Psalms 42:10
) ( 79:10
) ( Joel 2:17
) ( Micah 7:9
Micah 7:10 ) .
