Loe ye see the man is beside himself wherefore have ye brought him to me have I need of mad men c. So David departed thence 1 Sam. 21.14.15 and 22.1 Upon that he made this pasalme Vers 2. in all time or in every season See Psalm 10.5 This Psalm is also composed according to the order of the Hebrue Alphabet as is observed on Psal 25.1 Vers 3. shall glorie or joyfully-boast For so the Apostle expoundeth this word which properly signifieth to prayse ones self 1 Cor. 1.31 from Ier. 9.23.24 So in Psal 52.3 and 97.7 and 105.3 and 106.5 Vers 4. Magnify or Make great to weet by praising So Deut. 32.3 Give ye greatnes unto our God Vers 6. They looked to weet the meek mentioned before verse 3. or generally they that look and flow unto him flowed ran as a river the like similitude is Isa 2.2 and 60.5 Ier. 31.12 and 51.44 be not ashamed or shall not be ashamed which word in the original signifieth digging as Psalm 35.7 applied to shame which causeth men to seek to hide themselves as is lively described Rev. 6.15.16 Vers 8. The Angel that is the Angels for he speaketh of an host And often in the Hebrue one is put for a multitude as the inhabitant for the inhabitants 2 Sam. 5.6 with 1 Chron. 11.4 So frog for frogs Psalm 78.45 tree for trees quayl for quayls Psal 105.33.40 See the note on Psal 8.9 pitcheth-a-camp a similitude taken from warrs as Psam 27.3 So Jaakob when the Angels of God met him said this is Gods camp or host Gen. 32.1.2 Likewise about Elishah the mountain was full of horses and charets of fire 2 King 6.17 See also Psalm 91.11.12 Vers 9. Tast and see that is make trial and you shall find that God is good sweet and delectable and you will the more desire him Thus the Apostle applieth these words saying as new born babes desire ye the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is good 1 Pet. 2.2.3 Vers 11. Lions Lurking-lions whereof see Psalm 7.3 which are lusty strong-toothed fierce roring ravenous as appeareth by Psalm 58.7 and 104.21 Mic. 5.8 Ezek. 19.3.5.6.7 Iob 39.1.2 And hereby may be meant the rich and mighty of the world whom God often bringeth to miserie and so the Greek for Lions putteth here the rich Titants and strong men are somtime called Lions Ier. 2.15 1 Chron. 11.22 Nahum 2.13 See Luk. 1.53 are impoverished or suffer-penurie See Iob 4.10.11 Prov. 10.3 Vers 13. that willeth that is fain would have and delighteth dayes to see good that is to injoy good many dayes which the Apostle folowing the Lxx. expresseth thus to see good dayes 1 Pet. 3.10 that is dayes of prosperitie pleasure comfort Vers 1â— Keep thy tongue to weet by restraining and making it cease from evill as the Apostle teacheth 1 Pet 3 10.
