Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 23:5

5. Thou preparest a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies : thou anointest mine head with oyl , my cup runneth over .

(i. e.) Thou furnishest me with plenty, and Variety of Provisions and Comforts.

They seeing and envying, and fret[illegible: 1+ letters]ing at it, but not being able to hinder it.

Or Ointment, as the Syriack and Arabick Interpreters render it, with Aromatical Ointments, which were then used at great Feasts, Psal. 92. 10. Amos 6. 6. Mat. 6. 17. Luk. 7. 38. The Sence is, thy Comforts delight my Soul, Comp. 45. 7.

Thou hast given me a very plentiful Portion, signified by the Cup, given to the Guests by the Master of the Feast.
