John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

This psalm celebrates a singular, miraculous deliverance of Jerusalem from extreme peril, not merely the constant protection God always grants His Church. The prophet exhorts the faithful to commit themselves confidently to His protection, assured that He will preserve them from all assaults of their enemies, for it is His peculiar office to quell every commotionI cannot say with certainty when it was composed, but the language expresses faith under threatened difficulty rather than triumph already won.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. It was meet to sing this twice over. It is a truth of which no believer wearies, it is a fact too often forgotten, it is a precious privilege which cannot be too often considered. Reader, is the Lord on thy side? Is Emmanuel, God with us, thy Redeemer?

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

God breaks the rage and power of nations that oppose Him and His kingdom. When He speaks in wrath, they melt like snow before the sun, their earthly hearts failing them for fear. The very destructions they meant to bring on His church recoil upon themselves. Come, behold the works of the Lord among the nations, tragedy turns to triumph when God draws His sword.
