God's Protective Hand

Commentators unanimously interpret the 'hand of the Lord' resting on the mountain (Zion, the Church) as a promise of His permanent protection and defense. While God's power is active everywhere, it rests uniquely upon His people, providing constant security and care. Matthew Henry connects this to the hands of Christ, which save His people while judging His enemies.
