PSAL. LXXXI.
Verse 3. BLow the trumpet in the new Moon.] The Lord would have them to keep these* 1.1 new Moons holy to him, to teach them, that it was he who ruled and govern∣ed the world, and all the changes and vicissitudes of it, for as the Moon is predo∣minant over all the inferiour creatures, so doth Gods providence rule all things here below.
Vers. 10. Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.] As little birds open their mouthes* 1.2 and the old fils them.
Open thy mouth wide.] That is, earnestly, confidently call upon me. Our Savi∣our openeth this sentence, John 15. 17.
And I will fill it.] That is, I will satisfie thy desire to the full.
Vers. 16. Fed them also with the finest of wheat: and with honey out of the Rock* 1.3should have satisfied thee.] God never caused honey to come out of the Rock, but their appetite made it seem honey to them.

Illi canebant tuba in Pas∣cha, Pente∣coste, & See∣nopegia, Hieron. Sub novi∣lunio per Synecdochen alias quoque ferias designat. Quanquam autem quotidie offerebantur Sacrificia, dies tamen Sacrificii per excellentiam nominat, quibus se ex Legis praescripto fistebant fideles ad tabernaculum. Calvinus.
Chrysost Quum appa∣reat ex sacra historia, mel in cavis rupibus passim fuisse repertum quamdiu florebat Dei benedictio, simplex sensus est, tenorem gratiae Dei continuum & aequabilem futurum fuisse, nisi malitia & sceleribus populi abruptus esset. Calvinus.
