Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Of the never-failing continuance of his dominion: Thy throne is from generation to generation; the throne of glory, the throne of grace, and the throne of government, are all unchangeable, immovable; and this is matter of comfort to us when the crown has fallen from our head.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! Is any afflicted? let him pray; and let him in prayer pour out his complaint to God, and make known before him his trouble. The people of God do so here; being overwhelmed with grief, they give vent to their sorrows at the footstool of the throne of grace, and so give themselves ease.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The perpetuity of God's rule over human affairs, however He may seem to let His people be oppressed for a time, is their ground of hope of restoration.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Thy throne - Altho' for our sins thou sufferest our throne to be cast down, yet thou art the same, thy power is not diminished, nor thy goodness abated.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
