John Trapp on Psalms 11:6

Verſ. 6. Upon the wicked he ſhall rain ſnares] His ſoul hateth them; and, as revenge is the next effect of hatred, he will exerciſe horrible Judgements upon them. Go on they may in their wicked ways for a time, and haply think to out-run Wrath, but it ſhall eaſily overtake them, and inevitably; for the firſt thing that God ſhall rain upon them is Snares, to catch and hold them faſt, that they may ſurely ſuffer the reſt that follow. Take him, and lead him away ſafely, ſaith Judas concerning Jeſus to the Souldiers. Mark 14.44. And the ſame in effect ſaith God to his Judgements concerning the wicked, on whom for that purpoſe he raineth Snares, i.e. he ſuddenly ſurpriſeth them: as by unexpected foul weather.

Fire and Brimſtone] Hell from Heaven, as once upon Sodom and her Siſters, figuring the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 7. Rev. 20.10.Perdic ſe[illegible: 1 letter] [illegible: 1 word] diſperdit. &c cruciat ita ut nunquam perimar. Camero. where the Sacrifice is ſalted with fire, Mark 9.49. that is, burneth, but conſumeth not, Fire being of a burning, but Salt of a preſerving nature. Tophet is of a moſt tormenting temper, the fuel thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord like a ſtream of fire doth kindle it, Iſa. 30.33. Utinam ubi que de Gehenna differeretur, ſaith a Father; O that men would think, and talk much of Hell! O that they would take a turn in it; and taking a view of that formidable fire fed with a river of Brimſtone, and blown by the breath of the Almighty, they would haſten out of their Natural condition, as Lot did out of Sodome; ſith there is the ſmell of the fire and brimſtone already upon them!

And an horrible tempeſt] Ventus procelloſiſſimus, a moſt terrible blaſting Whirlwind, ſuch as the Greeks call Preſter; whereof ſee Plin. Lib. 2. c. 48. and the Evangeliſt calleth Euroclydon, Act. 27.14. The mariners miſchief.

This ſhall be the portion of their cup] Vel, portio part is eorum, id eſt, ipſiſſima eorum portio; duplicatur idem ſenſus duobus verbis, ſaith R. David. He ſeemeth to allude to the cuſtom at Feaſts, where each had his Cup, his demenſum, or meaſure of meat and drink. Wicked ones ſhall drink up the cup of Gods Wrath (worſe than that cup of boyling Lead powred down the drunken Turks throat by the command of the Baſhaw) though it be brim-full, and have eternity to the bottom, Pſal. 75.8.
