Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 9:12

12. When he maketh inquisition for blood , he remembreth them : he forgetteth not the cry of the humble .

Heb. Bloods. The bloodshed or murder of his innocent and holy ones: which though he may connive at for a season, yet he will certainly call the Authors of it to a very severe Account, and avenge it upon them.

Either 1. The Humble, as it follows, or the Oppressed, v. 9. That trust in him, and seek to him, v. 10. Whom he seemed to have forgotten. Or 2. The bloods last mentioned, for that Noun, and this Pronoun are both of the masculine Gender: and then remembring is put for revenging or punishing, as it is Deut. 25. 17, 19. Ne[illegible: 1+ letters]. 6. 14. Ier. 14. 10. and 44. 21. and oft elsewhere.

Or, [illegible: 1+ letters]eek, as this word which is used also Zech. 9. 9. is Translated Mat. 21. 5. Who do not, and cannot, and will not avenge themselves, but commit their Cause to me, as the God to whom Vengeance belongeth. Or afflicted, or oppressed ones.
