Psalms 57

Psalms 57:1

THE title, [Altaschith] these words signifie, doe not destroy: And the meaning thereof in these titles of Psalmes is unknown. Some beleeve that it was the beginning of some ordinary Song, to whose tune these Psalmes were sung. Others think that it was a title of prayers made in great danger of death.

He shall send] he shall work my deliverance in a manner which shall be altogether miraculous and heavenly, making the effects of his mercy, and the truth of his promises to appeare.

Are set on fire] the Italian, incndiaries, slaunderers, court flatterers, which doe incense Saul ag inst me, see 1 Sam. 24 10.

Be thou exbed] that is to say, make known thy soverague and glorious power in my deliverance.

Psalms 57:6

Is bowed down] the Italian, they drew down, or my soule began to declne.

Is fixed] or re-confirmed and re assured therefore I will sing.

Psalms 57:8

My glory] that is to say, my tongue, of my soule, as Genesis 49:6. Psal. 16. 9.
