John Trapp on Psalms 116:4

Verſ. 4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord] That ſtrong Tower, whereto the Righteous run and are ſafe, Prov, 18.10. Others have other refuges, the witch or Endor, the god of Ekron, the arm of fleſh, &c.

O Lord I beſeech thee] Ana, blandiontis & deprecantis particula. The Pſalmiſt here hath a ſweet way of inſinuating, Sic & N[illegible: 1 letter]ì Philem. 20. Rev. 1.7. and getting within the Lord; which oh that wee could skill of.

Deliver my ſoul] q.d. It is my ſoul, Lord, my precious ſoul that is ſought after; oh deliver my ſoul from the ſword, my darling from the power of the dog, Pſal. 18.20.
