Trust in God's ProvisionYou have enlarged the nation The phrase "You have enlarged the nation" speaks to God's providential blessing and expansion of His people. The Hebrew root for "enlarged" is "רָחַב" (rachab), which conveys the idea of broadening or making room. Historically, this can be seen in the context of Israel's growth and prosperity under God's covenant promises. Theologically, it reflects God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to Abraham about making his descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5). This enlargement is not merely numerical but also spiritual, as God calls His people to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6). O LORD You have enlarged the nation You have gained glory for Yourself You have extended all the borders of the land Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earths--Better, Thou hast moved far off the borders of the land. The English Version seems to speak of the exile and dispersion of the people. "What is really meant is, probably, that Jehovah will restore it to its old remoter boundaries, as in the days of David and Solomon. This belongs, of course, to the ideal, and not the historical, restoration. Verse 15. - Thou hast increased the nation; i.e. the "righteous nation" of ver. 2 - not the Jewish people merely, but "the Israel of God" - who are to be "a great multitude, that no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues" (Revelation 7:9). Thou hadst removed it. This rendering gives a very good sense. It makes the redeemed pass in thought from their present state of happiness and glory to that former time of tribulation and affliction when they were a remnant, scattered over the face of the earth (Isaiah 24:13-15), driven into its uttermost corners (Isaiah 24:16), oppressed and down-trodden by their enemies. But it is doubtful whether the Hebrew will bear the rendering. Most modern commentators translate, "Thou hast extended far all the borders of the land," which is certainly the more natural meaning of the words. If we accept this view, we must regard the clause as continuing the idea contained in the former part of the verse - the nation is increased in number, and its borders are advanced - it is "a multitude that no man can number," and it has no narrower limits than the "new earth," which has been given to it for its habitation (Revelation 21:1).Parallel Commentaries ...
