Psalms44:25
25. For our soul is bowed down to the dust : our belly cleaveth unto the earth .
(i. e.) Either our Lives, or Persons; or rather Bodies, as it is explained in the next Clause, and as the soul is oft taken by a Synecdoche, as Numb. 11. 6. Psal. 16. 10: and 106. 15. &c.
Either to the ground where we lye prostrate at our Enemies feet: Or, to the Grave.
We are not onely thrown down to the Earth, but we lye there like dead Carkasses fixed to it, without any Ability or Hope of rising again.
