us--"the throne of Thy glory" may be the object of "abhor not" ("reject not"); or "Zion" (Jer 14:19).
throne of thy glory--Jerusalem, or, the temple, called God's "footstool" and "habitation" (Ch1 28:2; Psa 132:5).
thy covenant-- (Psa 106:45; Dan 9:19). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The throne - The words are either to be understood of the throne of the house of David, called the Lord's throne, Ch1 29:23, or else the temple, and the ark in it, the more special symbol of God's presence. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Do not disgrace the throne of thy glory - The temple. Let not this sacred place be profaned by impious and sacrilegious hands.
Break not thy covenant - See Exo 24:7, Exo 24:8; Exo 19:5. They had already broken the covenant, and they wish God to fulfill his part. They ceased to be his people, for they abandoned themselves to idolatry; and yet they wished Jehovah to be their Lord; to defend, support, and fill them with all good things! But when the conditions of a covenant are broken by one of the contracting parties, the other party is not bound; and the covenant is necessarily annulled. |
