OF degrees] or, for-degrees, or, ascensions: see [unspec 1] the first note on the former Psalme. the mountains] Sion and Merijah, where was the San∣ctuary of God, who had his foundation in the holy mountains, Ps. 87. 1. w^ch was a figure of the heavens, Heb. 9. 24. and sometime mountaines and heavens are used for the same, as Ps. 18. 8. with 2 Sam. 22. 8. So the meaning is, that when he looked up to God for helpe, he received it. Or we may read it thus; Shall I lift up mine eyes to the mountaines? that is, to the places where Idols are worshipped, Deut. 12. 2. as if he should say, farre be it from me. For in vaine is helpe expected from the hills, or the multitude of the mountaines; but in Iehovah our God is the sal∣vation of Israel, Ier. 3. 23. The lifting up of the eyes signifieth hope and expectation, Ezek. 18. 6. So Psal. 123. 1.

Vers. 3. to be moved] or, to slide, or to commoti∣on, [unspec 3] which meaneth a falling into evill: see Psal. 38. 17. not 〈…〉〈…〉ber] that is, not neglect any care or diligence for thy good, Psal. 132. 4. Prov. 6. 4. Esai. 5. 27.

Vers. 5. shadow] that is, protection, comfort and [unspec 5] refreshing from heat, Esa, 25. 4. and 4. 6. Num. 14. 9. See also Psal. 1••9. 31.

Vers. 6. The Sunne] which annoyeth with heat, [unspec 6] as the Moone doth with cold vapours, Ion. 4. 8. Gen. 31. 40. And the Sunne and Moone being ru∣lers of day and night, Psal. 136. 8, 9. imply all other things whatsoever. But this hath reference to Gods protection of Israel in the wildernesse, Exod. 13. 21. Esai. 4. 5.

Vers. 8. Thy going out and oomming in] that is, [unspec 8] all thy administration, affaires and actions. See the like phrase, Deut. 28. 6. 2 Chron. 1. 10. 2 Sam. 3. 25. Act. 1. 21. and 9. 28.
