Vers. 4. He hath subdued, or, will subdue: So in [unspec 4] the next verse, He will chuse; but the time to come is often used for the time past or continued. And here it seemeth to be spoken of the subduing of the Canaanites, and the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 subduing of nations to Christ, by preaching of the Gospell. Of subdu∣ing, see Psal. 18. 48. the Chaldee here translateth it, kill.

(as the Chaldee mentioneth, the house of the Sanctuary:) whereby Iacobs posteritie excelled, Ezek. 24. 21. Amos 6. 8. and 8. 7. Nahum 2. 2. and all the heavenly promi∣ses given to the Church in Christ.

Act. 1. 9, 11. The Chaldee referreth this Going up, to the Exalting of Gods name.

Vers. 7. an instructing Psalme] Maschil, the title [unspec 7] of Psal. 32. and many others, here used in like sense for a Psalme to give instruction; or, as in Psal. 14. 2. for a prudent understanding person; in this sense, sing Psalme every one that is prudent; or, as the Greeke explaineth it, sing prudently; the Chaldee, with good understanding.

Vers. 9. throne of his holinesse] Greeke, his holy [unspec 9] throne. See Psal. 9. 5. Revel. 4. 2. The Chaldee cal∣leth it, the throne of his glory.
