Psalms31:23

23. O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful , and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer .

Or, keepeth Faithfulness, or Faithfulnesses, (i. e.) Is faithful in fulfilling his Promises: Or rather, the Faithful, who is opposed to the Proud doer in the next Clause of the Verse.

Heb. [illegible: 1+ letters]ith (for so the Hebrew al sometimes signifies) abundance.

The Enemies and persecutors of God's faithful Ones before mentioned, whom he calls here Proud doers, because of their Rebellion against God's Will, and their Contempt of his Threatnings and Judgments, and their most insolent and Contemptuous Carriage towards his People: all which proceeds from the pride of their Heart, Psal. 10. 4.

Marginal references: Psal. 94. 2.
