Make his bed - Give him ease and comfort, which sick men receive by the help of those who turn and stir up their bed, to make it soft and easy for them.

Psalms 76:5

Heal - The soul is said to be healed, when it is pardoned and purged. For - For I acknowledge that I have sinned.

Psalms 76:7

His heart - Even when he is with me, and pretends hearty affection, his heart is devising mischief against me.

Psalms 76:10

Yea - These words were literally fulfilled in David, and yet the Holy Ghost looked farther in them, even to Christ and Judas, in whom they received a fuller accomplishment. Lift up - A phrase implying injury, joined with insolency and contempt; taken from an unruly horse, which kicks at him that owns and feeds him.

By this - Because hitherto thou hast supported me, and prolonged my days to the disappointment of their hopes.
