John Trapp on Psalms 16:2

Verſ. 2. O my ſoul thou haſt ſaid unto the Lord] Or I have ſaid unto the Lord; and ſo I had rather read it, with Hierome and the Septuagint; becauſe the letter Jod may be wanting in Amarti. See the like Job 42.2. Ezek, 16.59. David was here extra ſe abreptus, carried beyond himſelf, and ſo might eaſily ſpeak ſhort, and ſay, Amart, for Amarti; like as Moſes in a paſſion ſaid to God, At for Att[illegible: 1 letter], Num. 11.15. as not able to ſpeak out. Am[illegible: 1 letter]r Dei eft ecſtaticus, &c.

I Chrow, 29, 14.16. Pſal. 24.1. thou needeſt no ſacrifices Pſal. 50.8. neither art thou delighted therein. Pſal. 51.18. Iſa. 1.11. All that thou requireſt is mercy, H[illegible: 1 letter]ſ. 6.6. Mis. 6.8. Mat. 12.7. Therefore I will ſeek out thoſe thy Receivers, the Saints that are in the earth, &c. See the Note on Job 35.6, 7, 8.
