Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 38:4

4. For mine iniquities are gone over my head : as an heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

Or, the Punishment of mine iniquities, as this Word is frequently used: Which best agrees both with the foregoing and following Verses, and with the Metaphor here used; which in other places of Scripture is generally applyed to Afflictions, and not to [illegible: 1+ letters]ins.

Like deep Waters wherewith I am overwhelmed and almost drowned, Psal. 42. 7. and 69. 2. and 124. 4, 5.

Marginal references: Ezra 9, 6.
