Psalms 129:4 - Exposition

The Lord is righteous . Still, God is just. He allowed these sufferings to be inflicted on us because we deserved them; and he interposed on our behalf when we had been sufficiently punished, and cut asunder the cords of the wicked . Cut, i . e ; the cords wherewith they had bound us. The "retrospect" here ends, and in the next verse the "anticipation" begins.
