Chapter XXXVII.—The same is proved from other Psalms.
“Moreover, in the diapsalm of the forty-sixth Psalm, reference is thus made to Christ:
‘God went up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing ye to our God, sing
ye: sing to our King, sing ye; for God is King of all the earth: sing with understanding. God
has ruled over the nations. God sits upon His holy throne. The rulers of the nations were
assembled along with the God of Abraham, for the strong ones of God are greatly exalted
on the earth.’277 And in the ninety-eighth Psalm, the Holy Spirit reproaches you, and predicts
Him whom you do not wish to be king to be King and Lord, both of Samuel, and of Aaron,
and of Moses, and, in short, of all the others. And the words of the Psalm are these: ‘The
Lord has reigned, let the nations be angry: [it is] He who sits upon the cherubim, let the
earth be shaken. The Lord is great in Zion, and He is high above all the nations. Let them
confess Thy great name, for it is fearful and holy, and the honour of the King loves judgment.
Thou hast prepared equity; judgment and righteousness hast Thou performed in Jacob.
Exalt the Lord our God, and worship the footstool of His feet; for He is holy. Moses and
Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among those who call upon His name. They called
(says the Scripture) on the Lord, and He heard them. In the pillar of the cloud He spake to
them; for278 they kept His testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them. O Lord
our God, Thou heardest them: O God, Thou wert propitious to them, and [yet] taking
vengeance on all their inventions. Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His holy hill; for
the Lord our God is holy.’ ”279
