8:3. His left hand—His power as illustrated in the guidance of His people into all necessary truth.
Should be under my head—Directing my mental faculties.

Until He please—For when He does stand up to assume control, “there will be a Time of Trouble such as never was,” in which all the earthly organizations upon which you have set your heart will be obliterated.
