Psalms30:12
Ver. 12. To the end that my glory may ſing praiſe to thee] i.e. That my tongue, oyled from an heart enlarged, may exalt thee according to my bounden duty, and thine abundant deſert. A good tongue that watcheth all opportunities to glorifie God, and edifie others, is certainly a mans great glory; but an evill tongue is his foul ſhame. Baſil expoundeth glory by [non-Latin text not transcribed] the ſpirit or ſoul. The Chaldee Paraphraſt, Laudabunt to honor abiles mundi, The glorious ones of the World ſhall praiſe thee.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever] Epiphonematica & pathetica concluſio, Davidi ex ſummis calamitatibus erepto familiaris. He concludeth as he began, ingaging his heart to everlaſting thankfullneſſe; and therein becoming a worthy pattern to all poſterity.
