Vers. 4. For thou art not a God that hast pleasure in wickednesse] He describes God from his own nature; As if he should say, O God, thou wilt free me from Saul and his wicked flatterers, because thou art such a God as hast not pleasure in wickedness. See Hab. 1. 12.

Vers. 6. I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy] That is, The Court of the house. See Nehem. 6. 11. trusting in thy mercy.

Will I worship] Bow my self, Incurvabo me. Jun.

Vers. 9. Their inward part is very wickednesse] Wickednesses, Heb. in the ab∣stract and plural number.

Vers. 12. Wilt blesse the righteous] Benedicere in Deo est benefacere.

With favour thou wilt compasse him as with a shield] The Hebrew word signifies to compass about as the crown the head, Coronabis eum. Chald. Par. Arias Montan. the LXX. and Vulg. Lat. Coronasti nos.
