Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 131:2

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted my self as a child that is weaned of his mother : my soul is even as a weaned child.

When my mind was provoked to irregular practices either by my own corrupt heart, or by Sauls implacable rage and tyranny, or by the solicitation of any of my followers, as 1 Sam. 24. & 26. I restrained and subdued all such evil motions.

Either, 1. as void of all that ambition and malice wherewith I am charged as a child newly weaned: or rather, 2. as wholly depending upon Gods providence for the way and time of bringing me to the Kingdom, as the poor helpless infant, when it is deprived of its natural and accustomed food, the mothers milk, takes no care to provide for it self, but wholly relies upon its mothers care and providence for its support.
