John Trapp on Psalms 11:4

Verſ. 4. The Lord is in his holy Temple] i. e. in Heaven, and there-hence hee both can and will do much for the releef of his poor oppreſſed,Ubi deficit auxilium humanum incip[illegible: 2 letters] divinum. Philo. though the righteous can do little for themſelves: he alſo knows, and will clear their innocency; for he ſits between the Cherubims, whence he is wont to ſend help, Pſal. 20.3. and hath his Throne in Heaven, whence he is wont to ſtrike terrour into the enemies, Pſal. 18.8, &c.

The Lords Throne is in Heaven] This is the ſame with the former, ſerving to ſet forth Gods Sufficiency, as the following words do his Efficiency,Dei ſolium eſt noſtrum aſylum. thoſe props of Davids faith, anſwerable to Jachin and Boaz, thoſe two braſen Pillars in Salomons Temple.

His eyes behold, his eye-lids try the children of men] The eye of God is taken in Scripture (ſaith one) either for his knowledge, or for his judgement; his eye in this Text pointeth out his knowledge, his eye-lids his critical deſcant. It is a manner of ſpeech, ſaith another, taken from thoſe mens actions who being deſirous to look upon a thing more intently do wink with their eyes, or cloſe up one of them, that they may ſee the better with the other.
