Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 68:13

13 Though ye g have lien among the pots , yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold . ,

Like Scullions that commonly lye down in the Kitchin among the Pots or Hearth-stones, whereby they are very much discoloured and desormed: Which is fitly opposed to the following Beauty. Though you have been filled with Affliction, and Contempt.

Beautiful and Glorious, like the Feather of a Dove, which according to the Variety of its postures, and of the light shining upon it, look like Silver or Gold.

Ye Israelites: to whom he now turneth his Speech.

i Or, yee have been. Which may seem more suitable to the Context, both foregoing and following, wherein he doth not speak Propherically of things to come, but Historically of things past. So the Sence of the Verse is; Though you have formerly been exposed to great Servitude and Reproach, and Misery, to wit, in Egypt, yet since that time God hath changed your Condition greatly for the better.
