3.
(Zec 9:16)
in . . . hand of . . . Lord--As a crown is
worn on the head, not "in the hand," hand must here be
figurative for "under the Lord's protection" (compare
De 33:3).
"All His saints are in thy hand." His people are in His hand at
the same time that they are "a crown of glory" to Him
(Re 6:2; 19:12);
reciprocally, He is "a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty" to
them
(Isa 28:5;
compare
Mal 3:17).
