John Trapp on Psalms 116:16

Verſ. 16. O Lord, truly I am thy ſervant, I am thy ſervant] Euge, O Jehovah, &c. by a real and an heavenly complement; thus hee inſinuateth, and therefore promiſeth praiſe to God, verſ. 17. and ſafety to himſelf, according to that Pſal. 119.94 I am thine, ſave me.

And the Son of thine handmaid] That is, of Ruth, ſay the Rabbines: or rather of his immediate mother,Quia religioſi [illegible: 1 letter]r patre. Gene [illegible: 1 letter]r. a good woman, and haply better than his Father; as Monoahs wife had a ſtronger faith than himſelf; and Priſcilla is named before her husband Aquila.

And the Son of they handmaid] Not born abroad, and bought or brought into thy family: but tuus quaſi vernaculus, et a ventre ad ſerviendum diſpoſitus, born and bred up to thy ſervice, of a child little.

Thou haſt looſed my bonds] Of affliction, of corruption, and made me Chriſts freeman, brought me into the glorious liberty of thine own Children.
