John Trapp on Psalms 27:13

Verſ. 13. I had fainted, unleſſe I had beleeved] Saved hee was then by his Faith, which drank to him as it were in a cup of Nepenthes, and fetcht him again, when ready to ſwoon and ſink. See Pſal. 119.92. The word rendred Unleſſe, here,Lule habe[illegible: 1 letter] puncta ſtipra & infra. is (as the Maſorites note) one of the fifteen Scripture-words, that were extraordinarily pointed by the men of the great Synagogue. The reaſon whereof given by Kimchi and others (as if David doubted of his ſalvation) is not ſatisfactory, nor ſound.

To ſee the goodneſſe of the Lord] That is, to taſte; one ſenſe uſually put for another; the ſoul alſo hath her ſenſes; and theſe muſt bee habitually exerciſed to diſcern good and evill, Heb. 5. ult.

In the Land of the living] That is, here on earth, (Pſal. 316.9. Iſa. 38.[illegible: 2 letters]. where men live; and I my ſelf have not only a portion of life with them, but a promiſe of many good things beſides. To blame therefore was good David, when hee ſaid in his haſte, All men are lyars, Prophets, and all who had promiſed him the Kingdome, Pſal. 116.10. But the beſt have their paſſions; which they daily outgrow, and adde to their faith patience, 2 Pet. 1.5, 6. And albeit as Calvin here noteth, every ones caſe is not like Davids, who had particular promiſes concerning this life, beyond many other faithfull perſons; yet, becauſe according to every mans faith it ſhall bee unto him, let us all likewiſe truſt in God, as wee are all hereupon exhorted in the next words.
