On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Their enemies laughed among themselves to see the frights they were in, the straits they were reduced to, and the disappointments they met with. When God is displeased with his people we must expect to see them in tears and their enemies in triumph. He prays earnestly for converting grace in order to their acceptance with God, and their salvation: Turn us again, O God!
