Psalms22:3

Verſ. 3. But thou art holy] And therefore to bee ſanctified in righteouſneſſe, Iſa. 5.16. whatever betide mee or my prayers. I alſo will truſt and try thee to the uttermoſt, for thou waiteſt to bee gracious; and being a God of Judgement thou beſt underſtandeſt when and how to diſpenſe and deal forth thy favours to thy ſuppliants, Iſa. 30.18. And if I ask good things of thee and miſſe, it is becauſe I ask amiſſe, Jam. 4.3. If I bee ſtraitned, it is not in thee, but in mine own bowels. They that have Conduit-water come into their houſes, if no water come, they conclude not the ſpring to bee dry, but the pipes to bee ſtopped or broken. If prayer ſpeed not, wee muſt bee ſure the fault is not in God, but in our ſelves; were we but ripe for mercy, hee is ready to extend it to us, and even waits for the purpoſe.

O thou that inhabiteſt the praiſes of Iſrael] i.e. The Sanctuary where thou art continually praiſed by thine Iſrael, who have the happineſſe to receive thine anſwer to their ſutes, though I cannot. Some render it, O ſancte, ſempiterne, & laudatiſsime.
