Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 39:8

8. De[illegible: 1+ letters]ver me from all my [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word] ; make me not the reproach of [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word] .

That I may not be disappointed of [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word] of enjoy [illegible: 1+ letters] thee, and thy Favour, which is the [illegible: 1 word] that I desi[illegible: 1+ letters]e, pardon all my sins, which stand [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word] Cloud between thee and me, and fill me with Fea[illegible: 1+ letters] [illegible: 1 word] my Condition both here and hereafter.

Let not their Prosperity and my Misery give them Occasion, to deride and Reproach me, for my serving of thee, and trusting in thee, to so little purpose or Advantage.

(i. e.) Of wicked Men, who, though they profess and think themselves to be Wi[illegible: 1+ letters]e, yet indeed are Fools, as is manifest from their Eager pursuit of fruitless Vanities, v. 6. and from their Gross neglect of God, and of his Service, who onely is able to make them Happy.
