John Trapp on Psalms 141:4

Verſ. 4 Incline not my heart] Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth ſpeaketh. For the better ordering of his words, therefore hee prayeth, not to be delivered up to Satan, and to his own hearts luſt (as hee was, 1 Chron 21.1. with 2 Sam. 24.1.) for God tempteth no man, but the Devill and his own concupiſcence, Jam. 1.13, 14. but to bee bent the better way by Gods over-powering efficacious grace, and to bee ſtabliſhed with his free Spirit,

To practiſe wicked works] The Vulgar rendreth it, ad excuſandas excuſationes in peccatis, to frame excuſe for mine offences; but that, when I have over-laſht,Gnala[illegible: 1 letter] ſignificat operaticut occaſione pratex[illegible: 1 letter]u, cauſa. I may confeſs and forſake, and ſo finde mercy.

And let mee not eat of their dainties] Their murthering morſels of iniquity, The Chaldee[illegible: 1 letter] expoundeth i[illegible: 1 letter] of their ſongs at banquets. or their tid-bits and baites, whereby Sauls courtiers ſought to inſnare him.
