Power + idea = angel.
Idea—power = man, or Prometheus.
Ps. LXVIII.
V. 34. Ascribe ye the power to God over Israel: his worship and strength is in the clouds.
The “clouds,” in the symbolical language of the Scriptures, mean the events and course of things, seemingly effects of human will or chance, but overruled by Providence.
Ps. LXXII.
This psalm admits no other interpretation but of Christ, as the Jehovah incarnate. In any other sense it would be a specimen of more than Persian or Moghul hyperbole, and bombast, of which there is no other instance in Scripture, and which no Christian would dare to attribute to an inspired writer. We know, too, that the elder Jewish Church ranked it among the Messianic Psalms.—N.B. The word in St. John and the Name of the Most High in the Psalms are equivalent terms.
V. 1. Give the king thy judgments, O God; and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, the only begotten, the Son of God and God, King of Kings, and the Son of the King of Kings!
