of the verb which sometime the Hebrew it self explaineth as he not the King of Israel 1 King 22.33 for it was not the King 2 Chron. 18.32 so he overseer 2 King 25.19 for was overseer Ier. 52.25 and sundry tho like excellent or noble glorious wonderfull an honourable title given to Christians See Psal 8.2 all my delight in them or in whom all my pleasure is Hebrew Chephtsi-bam that is my pleasure in them so in Isa 62.4 the church is called Chephtsi-bah that is my pleasure in her Vers 4. Their sorrowes shall be multiplied or are multiplied This is meant of Idolaters who hastily endow that is offer sacrifice to another God and so increase their griefes which may be understood of afflictions or of grievous Idols for the Hebrew ghnatsabim sorrows is often used for Idols as in Psal 115.4 and so the Chaldee paraphrast taketh it here Accordingly the sense may be this They whose grievous-Idols are multiplyed they that endow another God I will not powre out their oblations that is I will not pertake with them or be a mediatour for them endow an other or hasten to an other A similitude from dowries given in mariages meaning gifts and oblations hastily brought for divine worship powre-out-oblations or shed-offerings effusions properly put by figure of speech for effused or powred out liquor commonly called drink offerings which were wont to be powred-out upon the sacrifices and by Gods law were to be of wine or Shecar Num. 15.5 7 10 and 28 7. but among idolaters were of blood take-up their names or beare their names that is not mention or speak of them according to the law Exod. 23.13 Ias 23.7 Vers 5. Of my part or of my partage that is of the inheritance parted shared and dealt unto me So the Greek turneth it of mine inheritance The word is generally used for lands oities goods spoiles c. that are shared out And this here hath reference to the law of the Priests which had in part among the people for that the Lord was their part and inheritance Num. 18.20 The Lord is his peoples part or share Ier. 10.16 and 51.19 and again his people are called his part Deut. 32.9 my cup that is measure and portion of joyes or afflictions Psal 23 5 and 11.6 my lot this also is used for an inheritance obtained by lot Ios 18.11 Iudg. 1.3 The Apostle calleth Christs church by this name 1 Pet. 5.3 Vers 6. The lines or cords such were used in measuring of lands or heritages Psal 105.11 and 78.55 2 Sam. 8.2 and figuratively a line is put for the portion measured Ios 17.5.14 is faire for me or which is faire unto me that is which pleaseth me well Vers 7. Counselled me given me counsell by his word and spirit touching my sufferings and the glory that shall follow 1 Pet. 1.11 Luk. 24.25 26. God is wonderfull in counsell and excellent in work Isa 28.29 Vers 8. I have proposed equally-set or levelled the Greek which the Apostle followeth saith I beheld-before Act. 2.25 he is at my right hand The word is is supplied Act. 2.25 For God be at the right hand is powerfully to assist and comfort as on the contrary for Satan to be there is greatly to resist and annoy Psal 109.6 Zech. 3.1 I shall not be moved or that I be not moved Act. 2.25 Vers 9. My glory This by the Apostle is applied to the tongue Act. 2.26 which is the instrument wherewith we glorifie God See Psal 30.13 and 57.9 Gen. 49.6 dwell in confidence or abide with hope that is boldly safely and securely meaning that his flesh his body should abide or rest in the grave with sure hope of rising again from death the third day Vers 10. My soul The Hebrew Nephesh and Greek Psuchee which we call Soule hath the name of breathing or respiring and is therefore sometime used for the breath Iob 41.12 it is the vitall spirit that all quick things move by therefore beasts birds fish and creeping things are called in scripture living soules Gen. 1.20.24 And this soule is sometime called the blood Gen. 9.4 because it is in the blood of all quick things Levit. 17.11 It is often put for the life of creatures as keep his soule Iob 2.6 that is spare his life a righteous man regardeth the soule of his beast Prov. 12.10 that is the life so to seek the soule is to seek ones life to take it away Psal 54 5. Mat 2.20 It is also many times used for ones self as Job justified his soul that is himself Iob 32.2 take heed to your soules that is to your selves Deut. 4.15 so Gen. 19.20 Luk. 12.19 And thus it is put for the person or whole man as give me the soules that is the persons Gen. 14.21 so an hungry soule Psal 107.9 a full soul Prov. 27.7 a weary soul Prov. 25 25. eight souls 1 Pet. 3 20. seventie five souls Act. 7.14 and many the like It is used also for the lust will or desire as Psal 41.3 Exod. 15.9 for the affections of the heart Psal 25 1. for the body of man that hath life and sense Psal 105 18. and 35 13. and finally it is sometime a dead body or corps Num. 5 2. and 9.10 and 19.11.13 though this be figurative and very unproper for at ones death the soul goeth out Gen. 35 18. The word being thus largely used is to be weighed according to the matter and circumstances of each text For this here in the Psalm compare it with the like in other places Psal 30 4. and 116 8. and 89 49. and 88 4. and 94.17 Christ gave his soul for the ransom of the world and powred it out unto death Isa 53 12. Mat. 20 28. Iohn 10.11 15.17 and 15.13 to hell or in hell in deathes-estate or deadly-hed This word hell properly signifieth deep whether it be high or low and though by custome it is usually taken for the place of Devils and damned wights yet the word is more large and as heaven is not onely the dwelling place of God and his saints but generally all places above us where the starrs the clowds the winds the birds c. are as is shewed Psal 8 9. so hell is all places beneath Wherefore it may in this large sense serve to expresse the Hebrue word Sheol here used which Sheol is a deep place Iob. 11 8. Prov. 9 18. and said in scripture to be beneath Psal 86 13. Deut. 32.22 Isa 14.9 as heaven is above and it with the Greek word haides is opposed to heaven Psal 139 8. Amos 9 2. Mat. 11 23. It cometh of Shaal to Crave ask or require because it requireth all men to come unto it and is never satisfied Psal 89 49.

SHigajon An-artificial-song of David or Davids delight The word properly signifieth Aberration or Ignoration and is here and in Hab. 3.1 onely used in the title of Songs which seem to be made of sundry variable and wandring verses which being composed by art cause the more delight The Hebrue word Shagah whereof this is derived is used for delight or wandring-in-pleasure Prov. 5.19.20 According to which wee may name this song Davids delight or solace Or in the other signification Davids errour as setting forth the sum of his cares which made him almost to goe astray upon the words or concerning the words or matters affayres Word is both in Hebrue and Greek often used for a thing or matter Exod. 18.16 Deut. 17.1.1 King 14.13 Luk. 1.65 of Cush This may be meant of K.

Done this which Cush accuseth me of He speaketh of some common slander injurious-evill in my palmes that is bad dishonest dealings in secret the palm or hollow of the hand being a place where filthines may be hidden the hand also is put for the actions So Ion. 3.8 Psal 109.27 and 78.42 Vers 5.

My life in Hebrew lives so usually called for the many faculties and operations that are in life the many yeers degrees estates thereof The Apostles in Greek retain the singular number life Act. 2.28 from Psal 16.11 1 Pet. 3.10 from Psal 34.13 My glory or honour meaning either his honourable estate renown and posterity as Hos 9.11 Iob 19 9. or his soule as Gen. 49.6 in the dust that is in base estate and ignominy as Psal 113.7 Iob 16.5 or the dust of death the grave as Psal 22.16 Isa 26.19 Vers 7.

Angerly-threatneth or detesteth disdaineth in wrath namely the wicked and menaceth their destruction Vers 14. He worketh for the hot-persecutors or polisheth to weet to shoot at them that servently persecute The Hebrew dalak which signifieth burning Ezek. 24.10 is applied to hot persecution so Psal 10.2 Gen. 31.35 Lam. 4.19 Vers 15. He shal be in travell or continually travelleth that is taketh great pains to accomplish iniquity as a woman with child to be delivered molestation or moyle misery The Hebrew ghnamal signifieth toylsom-labour and molestation both which a man indureth himself Psal 25.18 and 73.5 and which he causeth another to endure Psal 94.20 and 55.11 And thus it is here meant as the 17. verse sheweth bring forth a lye or falshood meaning either calumny and slander of others which in verse 17. seemeth to be called violent-wrong or a deceit of himself frustrating his own expectation This similitude of the Conception travell and birth of sin is memorable
