Annotations.

OF Asaph] or to him: see Ps. 50. 1. thine in∣heritance] [unspec 1] or possession; the land of Canaan invaded by the Gentiles, Exod. 15. 17. 2 Sam. 20. 19. Ier. 50. 10, 11. Lam. 1. 10. heapes] that is, ruines, Mic. 1. 6. and 3. 12.

Vers. 2. carkasse] for carkasses, as after, beast, for [unspec 2] beasts; and prisoner, vers. 11. for prisoners: See Psal. 34. 8.

Vers. 3. none to bury] which is a thing most disho∣nourable, [unspec 3] Eccl. 6. 3. Cōpare herewith, Rev. 11. 2, 9.

Vers. 5. jealousie] that is, hot wrath burne, as Psal. [unspec 5] 89. 47. So Ezek. 36. 5. elsewhere it is said to smoake, Deut. 29. 19. this fire is the flame of Iah. Song 8. 6.

Vers. 6. which call not &c.] a note of prophane∣nesse, [unspec 6] Psalm. 14. 4. This sentence Ieremie useth, Ier. 10. 25.

Vers. 8. former iniquities] iniquities of former [unspec 8] times (or persons;) done by us, or our fathers, as Psal. 25. 7. both are joyned together, Lev. 26. 40. Lam. 5. 7. Former, and iniquities, differ in gender, yet many times such are coupled, the sense being regarded more than strict forme of words; which the Hebrew text sometime manifesteth, as tabo, 2. Sam. 8. 5. for which in 1 Chron. 18. 5. is jabo; la∣hen. 2 Chron. 18. 16. lahem, 1 King. 22. 17. So a∣gaine in this Psalme, vers. 10. brought low] or, weakened, emptied, impoverished. See this word, Psal. 41. 2. and 116. 6.

Vers. 10. knowne be] to wit, the vengeance, let [unspec 10] it be open and manifest. The Chaldee translateth, Let him be revealed among the peoples, that we may see the vengeance of thy servants bloud that is shed. Here againe the words differ in gender, (as was noted before, vers. 8.) wherefore some turne it, let him (that is, God) be knowne, by the vengeance, &c. Compare herewith Deut. 32. 42, 43. Jer. 51. 36, 37.

Vers. 11. the sighing] or the groaning mournfull [unspec 11] crie: So Psal. 102. 21. reserve] or make to re∣maine, that is, keepe alive from destruction; which if God had not done, they had been as Gomorrah, Isa. 1. 9. And this God promised to doe, Ezek. 6. 7, 8. and 12. 16. sonnes of death] that is, persons appointed to die, or worthy of death; in Chaldee, delivered to death: as 1 Sam. 20. 31. Deut. 25. 2. So Psal. 102. 21. and, Sonne of perdition, 2 Thes. 2. 3.

Vers. 12. seven-fold] that is, fully and abundant∣ly. [unspec 12] See Psal. 12. 7. into their bosome] that is, largely, and that it may affect, & cleave unto them; so Isa. 65. 7. Ier. 32. 18. See also Luk. 6. 38.
