John Trapp on Psalms 149:2

Verſ. 2 Let Iſrael rejoyce in him that made him] And new made him, Epheſ. 2.10. and thereby highly advanced him, as 1 Sam. 12.6. The Hebrew hath it, In his makers, to ſhew the Trinity of perſons, concurring in the work both of creation and regeneration. So Gen. 1.2[illegible: 1 letter] Job 35.1[illegible: 1 letter]. Iſa. 54.5. Eccleſ. 12.1. See Pſal. 100.3.

Bee joyfull in their King] i. e. In Chriſt, whoſe Kingdome is ſuch as ſhould ſwallow up all diſcontents, and make us everlaſtingly merry, Mic. 4.9. I[illegible: 1 letter] Seneca could ſay to his friend, Polybius, Fas non eſt ſalvo Caeſare, de fortuna tua queri. [illegible: 1 span] salvi tibi ſunt tui, &c. It is not fit for thee to complain of thine hard fortune, ſo long as Ceſar is alive, and well: how much more may it bee ſaid ſo to Chriſtians, ſo long as Chriſt is alive, and reigneth?
