And David saith— (Psalms 69:23), which in such a Messianic psalm must be meant of the rejecters of Christ.
Let their table, etc.—that is, Let their very blessings prove a curse to them, and their enjoyments only sting and take vengeance on them.
What then?—How stands the fact?
Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for—better, "What Israel is in search of (that is, Justification, or acceptance with God—see on Romans 9:31); this he found not; but the election (the elect remnant of Israel) found it, and the rest were hardened," or judicially given over to the "hardness of their own hearts."
