John Trapp on Nehemiah 9:27

Verſe 27. Therefore thou deliveredſt them] Flagitium & flagellum, ſicut acus & filum. Sinne and puniſhment are tied together with chains of adamant.

Who vexed them] Heb. Put them to ſtraits; ſo that they had not what ſhift to make, or how to help themſelves.

And in the time of their trouble] Vexatio dedit intellectum. The time of affliction is the time of ſupplication. When out of the depths Gods people cry unto him, they may have any thing, Zach. 13.9. ſpeedy audience, unmiſcarrying returnes of their prayers.

Thou gaveſt them Saviours] i. e. Deliverers ſuch as the Judges were, Judg. 3.9. and ſuch as Flaminius the Roman was to the poor Argives; who therefore called him Saviour Saviour, and that with ſuch a courage,Plut. in Flam ut corvi fortuito ſuperv[illegible: 1 letter]lantes, in ſtadium deciderent, that the birds fell to the earth amazed with that outcry; the aire was ſo diſſipated with their acclamations.
