Psalms34:12
12. What man is he that desireth life , and loveth many days, that he may see good ?
To wit, seriously and in good earnest, so as to be willing to use any indeavours which shall be prescribed to him: For otherwise the question were needless▪ for there is no man but desires it, at least Coldly and Faintly.
A long and happy Life, begun in this World and continued for ever in the next. And thus Life is oft used, as Psal. 16. 11. and 30. 5.
Heb. Loveth days to see (i. e. In which he may see, i. e. Enjoy) Good, to wit, Prosperity or Happiness.
Marginal references: [illegible: 1+ letters] Pet. 3. 10.
