John Trapp on Psalms 116:1

PSAL. CXVI

VErſ. [illegible: 1 letter] I love the Lord] Heb. I love: becauſe the Lord hath heard, &c. Vox abrupta & ecliptica, an abrupt conciſe ecliptical expreſſion, betokening an inexpreſſible unconceiveable paſſion, or rather pang of love, ſuch as intercepteth his voice for a time,Sa[illegible: 3 letters]beo. Tremel. till recollecting himſelf, and recovering his ſpeech, hee becometh able to tell us, not only that hee loveth, or is well ſatisfied, but alſo why he loveth, and is all on a light flame as it were, viz.

Becauſe hee hath heard my voice] Though but an inarticulate incondite voice: Lam. 3.56. Thou haſt heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

And my ſupplications] My prayers for grace, when better formed and methodized.
