John Trapp on Psalms 22:6

Verſ. 6. But I am a worm, and no man] David (ſaith a learned man) in the Arabick tongue ſignifieth a worm; to which hee may here ſeem to allude. I am a worm ſaith Hee, I am duſt and aſhes ſaith Abraham, leſs than the leſt of thy loving kindneſſes, ſaith Jacob. Nos autem quid ſumus? ſaith Moſes. Thus the Saints expreſſe themſelves in a low language, as ſo many broken men. Contrarily the wicked ſpeak big words, bubbles of words, as Peter hath it; ampullantur, as Pharaoh, who ſaid, Who is the Lord? Nebuchadnezzar, Who is that God that can deliver you? Dan. 3. who is Lord over us? &c. Pſal. 12. Our Lord Chriſt, of whom the greateſt part of this Pſalm muſt bee underſtood, emptied and humbled himſelf to the utmoſt, Phil. 2.7, 8. that wee might bee exalted; this San of Righteouſneſs went ten degrees back. in the Diall of his Father, that hee might come unto us with health in his wings, &c.

A Reproach of men] Rejectamentum hominis, & nullificamen populi, as Tertullian phraſeth it. So was Chriſt, Iſa. 53. ſo were his Apoſtle, 1. Cor. 4.13. wee are made the ſweepings of the World, the off-ſcourings of all things, the very dung-cart into which every man caſteth his filth to bee carried thorough the dung-port. Why then ſhould we think much to be ſlighted?
