God's judgments against the enemies of the church13. The consternation of sinners, and privileges of the godly Your mind will ponder The phrase "Your mind will ponder" suggests a deep reflection or meditation. In the Hebrew text, the word for "mind" is "levav," which often refers to the inner self, including the heart and mind. This indicates a comprehensive contemplation, not just a fleeting thought. Historically, this reflection is on past events, possibly the Assyrian threat to Jerusalem, which was a time of great fear and anxiety. The act of pondering implies a shift from fear to understanding and gratitude for deliverance. the former terror Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers? Where is the scribe?--Then, in those times of panic, each Assyrian official was an object of dread. There was the "scribe," who fixed the amount of tribute to be paid by each village or landowner; the "receiver" (literally, weigher), who weighed the gold and silver as it was brought in for payment; the "counter of towers," who formed his plans for the operation of the "siege." In Psalm 48:13 the same phrase is used of those who defend the city. Verse 18. - Thine heart shall meditate terror; i.e. "thou shalt look back upon the past time of terror, the dreadful period of the siege, and contrast it with thy present happiness." Mr. Cheyne quotes as an illustration, appositely enough, Virgil's "Et haec olim meminisse juvabit." Where is the scribe... the receiver?.... he that counted the towers? Where now are the Assyrian officials - the scribe, who registered the amount of the tribute and booty ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. 1. p. 476); the receiver, who weighed the gold and silver carefully in a balance (Layard, 'Nineveh and its Remains,' vol. 2. p. 377); and the engineer officer who surveyed the place to be besieged, estimated its strength, and counted its towers? All have perished or have fled away in dismay.Parallel Commentaries ...
