For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, etc.] Of the Messiah, as in (<19A922>Psalm 109:22) at whose right hand the Lord was, to guide and direct, help and assist, protect and defend, (<191608>Psalm 16:8), or of his people, who are poor in every sense; but the Lord is on their side, and is a present help in time of trouble, (<194601>Psalm 46:1,5). To save him from those that condemn his soul: the Messiah: from his judges, the high priest and Jewish sanhedrim, and Pilate the Roman governor, who condemned him to death; but he committed his spirit, or soul, to God, who received it, and raised his body from the dead; and would not suffer it to see corruption, as a testimony of his innocence: or the soul of the poor saints, which the Lord saves from the condemnation of sin, Satan, the law, and their own consciences, ( <450801>Romans 8:1,33,34).
