Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 73:22

22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee .

Heb. Beasts, which may signifie a great Beast, a most stupid and sottish Creature, like one not onely void of Grace, but of Reason too: For Reason it self, especially assisted by the Holy Scriptures; did sufficiently discover that, all things considered, I had no sufficient cause to Envy the Prosperity of wicked Men. I minded onely present things, as the Brutes do, and did not consider things to come, as reasonable Creatures do, and ought to do.

In thy sight or Judgment, and therefore in Truth, Rom. 2. 2. howsoever I seemed to my self or others, to have some degree of Reason and Discre[illegible: 1+ letters]on.

Marginal references: Psal. 92. 6.; Heb. I knew not.; Heb. with thee.
