Psalms 141:6

When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet - Hebrew, 'their judges (i:e., leaders and princes) are (doomed to be) overthrown in the hands of (i:e., given up to be thrown down from: or hands may mean, as in ; , the sides of: dashed down a ainst the side of) a rock: then they shall hear my words,' etc. So Jezebel was thrown down (). "Sweet" is the same Hebrew word (nahemu) as was used for the "dainties" of the wicked: to imply that the true sweetness is with the godly, not with the wicked. Dashing dawn a precipice was a common punishment among the Jews (; ; cf. ). The lords of the godless world-power who rebel against the Divine Son of David shall ultimately be 'dashed in pieces like a potter's vessel' (); where also, in , the unbelieving "judges" are warned to listen to the 'sweet words' of the inspired Teacher ere it be too late. , in the same cycle of psalms, foretells the conversion of the world-kings as the effect of the final exaltation of the Son of David, and of the overthrow of the antichristian confederates. The 'sweet words' of the inspired Teacher's "month" are these whereby he invites them to submit to the Lord's Anointed and to "praise Him." These words they now despise; but taught by a severe lesson, they shall at last Anointed and to "praise Him." These words they now despise; but taught by a severe lesson, they shall at last prize them dearly.
