IN thy strength] or, for thy strength, thy king∣dome, [unspec 2] strong helpe and deliverance. This Psalm, as the former, gratulateth the victory and salvation of Christ, and is by the Chaldee Paraphrast ap∣plied to the reigne of King Messias. Also the He∣brew Iismach, (Shall rejoyce,) hath the letters (be∣ing transplaced,) of the name Mashiach, Christ. shall rejoyce] or rejoyceth continually.
Vers. 4. a crowne] a signe of glorious victorie, [unspec 4] and of the Kingdome.
V. 5. length of dayes] that is, a long continued life time, Isa. 53. 10. Iob 12. 12. So Ps. 23. 6. & 93. 5. and [unspec 5] 91. 16. On the contrary, short of dayes, is short lived, Iob 14. 1. ever and aie] to eternall and perpetu∣all aie. Christ being raised from death, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him, Rom. 6. 9 But behold he is alive for evermore, A∣men, Rev. 1. 18. and ever liveth to make intercessi∣on for them that come to God by him, Hebr. 7. 25.
Vers. 7. hast set him blessings] that is, made him to abound with all manner blessings himselfe, & to be [unspec 7] an example of, or to impart blessings unto others.

Vers. 9. shall find out all thy enemies] to wit, to punish them, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 like phrase importeth, Isa. 10. [unspec 9] 10. or, shall find for all, that is, shall be enough for all thy foes, that is, sufficiently able to overcome them: so finding is used for sufficiencie, Num. 11. 22. Iudg. 21. 14. For hand, the Chaldee saith, the stroke of thine hand.
Vers. 10. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 set them] or put them all and every one, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is noted on Psal. 2. 3. So also after in vers. [unspec 10] 11. and 13. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of fire] a fierie furnace; meaning in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 affliction, Lam. 5. 10. the time of thy face] that is of thine anger, as the Chaldee Pa∣raphrast explaineth it; for the face sheweth forth pleasure or displeasure, favour or wrath: so face is used for anger, Psal. 34 17. Lev. 20. 6. Gen. 32. 20. Lam. 4. 〈◊〉〈◊〉. ••er. 3. 12. swallow them] that is, destroy or d〈…〉〈…〉sh, them: so Psal. 35. 25. and 52. 6. and 55. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉] the Chaldee expoundeth it, the fire of Ge〈…〉〈…〉 (or of H••ll.)
Vers. 11. Their fruit] that is, their children, cal∣led [unspec 11] the fruit of the body and wombe, Psal. 127. 3. and 132. 11. Deut. 28. 4. or their labour and that which comes thereof; as Prov. 31. 16. 31. their seed] that is, children, or posteritie, Psal. 22. 24. 31. and ••7. 25. Gen. ••7. 7. 10.
Vers. 12. shall not be able] to wit, to stablish, (as [unspec 12] the Greeke explaineth) or, to effect it. After this word can, or able, there often wanteth a word to be understood: see Psal. 101. 5.
Vers. 13. a Butt] to shoot at; Hebr. a shoulder; [unspec 13] because the earth is heaped up like shoulders. The Chaldee paraphraseth, thou hast set them to thy peo∣ple as one shoulder. make ready] or fit, namely thine arrowes against their faces. The Chaldee otherwise, in the cords of thy Tent thou wilt order thy law before them.
