This psalm admits no other interpretation but of Christ, as the
Jehovah incarnate. In any other sense it would be a specimen of more
than Persian or Moghul hyperbole, and bombast, of which there is no
other instance in Scripture, and which no Christian would dare to
attribute to an inspired writer. We know, too, that the elder Jewish
Church ranked it among the Messianic Psalms.--N.B. The word in St.
John and the Name of the Most High in the Psalms are equivalent
terms.

V. 1. Give the king thy judgments, O God; and thy righteousness unto
the king's son.

God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, the only begotten,
the Son of God and God, King of Kings, and the Son of the King of
Kings!

Ps. LXXIV.

V. 2. O think upon thy congregation, whom thou hast purchased and
redeemed of old.

The Lamb sacrificed from the beginning of the world, the God-Man, the
Judge, the self-promised Redeemer to Adam in the garden!

V. 15. Thou smotest the heads of the Leviathan in pieces; and gavest
him to be meat for the people in the wilderness.

Does this allude to any real tradition? The Psalms appears to have
been composed shortly before the captivity of Judah.
