What is the context?
The communal thanks leads into a voice promising fair judgment at the appointed time and stability amid a quaking world. Pride and self-exaltation are challenged.
The horn and stiff neck picture power displayed arrogantly. The warning concerns a posture unwilling to acknowledge limits or receive correction.
The poem does not make a proud person’s confidence proof of divine appointment. Judgment belongs with the One able to sustain the world.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley reads the older wording through a ruler receiving the congregation and sustaining public justice. The BSB instead gives a chosen time and a voice bearing the earth’s pillars. The differing speaker and wording should remain visible rather than simply assigning every statement to David.
