Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 3:2

2. M[illegible: 1+ letters]y there be which say of my soul , There [illegible: 1 word] no help for him in God . S[illegible: 1+ letters]lah .

(i. e.) Of me: the soul being commonly put for the person, as [illegible: 1 word]. 46. 2. [illegible: 1 word] 6. 8. compare with Gen. 22. [illegible: 1+ letters]6.

[illegible: 1+ letters]od [illegible: 1+ letters]th utterly forsaken him for his many crimes, and [illegible: 1+ letters]ill never [illegible: 1+ letters]lp him more.

This word is no where used but in [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1+ letters]ook of the [illegible: 1 word], and in the Song of [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word]. p. 3. 3▪ [illegible: 1+ letters] ▪ 13. Which makes that opinion probable that it was a musical [illegible: 1 word], directing the singer either to lift up his Voice, or to make a short stop or pause, or to lengthen out the tune. But [illegible: 1 word], it is generally placed at some remarkable passage: which gives occasion to think that it served also to quicken the attention or observation of the singer and hearer.
