Psalms22:9
Verſ. 9. But thou art hee that took mee out of the womb] When, but for thine almighty midwifery, I might have been ſtrangled; or, as an untimely birth, never ſeen the Sun. It is no leſſe than a miracle that the child is kept alive in the womb, and periſheth not in the midſt of thoſe excrements, and that in comming forth, it dyeth not, &c. The very opening and ſhutting again of the body when the child is to be born, is a thing ſo incomprehenſible, that ſome Naturaliſts acknowledge the immediate hand and power of God in it. But becauſe it is a common mercy, little notice is taken, or uſe made of it.
Thou didſt make mee hope] Or, keptſt mee in ſafety; for puerilit as eſt periculorum pelagus, a thouſand deaths and dangers little ones are ſubject to; but God preſerveth, and provideth; & haec non ſunt per accidens, ſaith Kimchi, theſe things are not by chance, but by divine providence.
