Psalms119:136
Verſ. 136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes] My countenance is clouded, and even furrowed with continuall tears ſhed for thy diſhonour: therefore lift up upon mee the light of thy loving countenance. It grieveth mee greatly to ſee thy law violated, and the tranſgreſſours thereof ſo careleſs of their own eternall good. This was L[illegible: 1 letter]t[illegible: 1 letter] caſe at Sodom, 2 Pet. 2. and is many a good mans ſtill; every prophane wretch being a Hazael to his eyes, an Hadadri[illegible: 4 letters] to his heart. The Septuagint and Vulgar read, Mine eyes have drawn down iſſues of Waters; (i.e. they have wept abundantly) becauſe they (that is, thoſe eyes of mine) have not kept thy Law. So Aben-Ezra: Quia ipſi [illegible: 1 word] non obſervaſſant [illegible: 1 word]. David had walked after the ſight of his eyes, and the luſt of his heart; this is now his grief. Thus they; but not ſo well.
