John Trapp on Psalms 109:1

PSAL. CIX.

A Pſalm of David] Written by him, uſque ad[illegible: 2 letters] terribili & b[illegible: 1 letter]rrifica eratiom, ſaith Be[illegible: 3 letters], in ſuch terrible terms, as the like in not tobe found in holy Scripture; wherefore it is to be read and uſed with very great judgement, and not as thoſe miſc[illegible: 2 letters]ants of whom Faber writeth, Quod more magic[illegible: 1 letter] clam [illegible: 1 word] bunc Pſalmam per [illegible: 1 word] exectation is in torum beſtes, that after a conjuring faſhion they muttered out this Pſalm, by way of curſe upon their enemies.

Verſ. 1. Hold not thy peace] But plead my cauſe, clear mine innocency.

O God of my praiſe] The object of my praiſes, or thou that keepeſt up my credit, as a witneſs, judge, and avenger of mine integrity.
