John Trapp on Psalms 30:6

Verſ. 6. And in my proſperity I ſaid] Or, In my tranquillity; then it was that he was overgrown with ſecurity; as was alſo Job, chap 29.18, 19, 20. See the Note there; and Job 9.18. How many have burnt their wings about Jobs candle? chap. 29.3. ſaith One; Oh the hazzard of honour [illegible: 1 letter] dammage of dignity! how ſoon are wee broken upon the ſoft pillow of eaſe a Lunaticks, when the Moon is declining and in the wain, are ſober enough; but when full, more wild and exorbitant. Flies fettle upon the ſweeteſt perſumes when cold; ſo do ſin and Satans temptations on the beſt hearts, when diſſolved and diſ-ſpirited by proſperity; Watch therefore.Niobe apud Ovid. Major ſum quam cui poffi fortuna nocare. Adam in Paradiſe was overcome; when Job on the dung-hill was a Conqueror.

I ſhall never bee moved] Exceſſere metum mea jam bona. David by miſreckoning of a point, miſt the haven, and had almoſt run upon the Rocks. How apt are the holieſt to bee proud and ſecure? even as worms and waſps eat the ſweeteſt apples and fruits. What reaſonhad David to promiſe himſelf more than ever God promiſed him, immunity from the Croffe? Did he think (as Dionyſius afterwards did,Aelian. [illegible: 1 letter] var hiſt. lib. 2. but was clearly confuted ſoon after) that his Kingdome, and with it proſperity. was tyed unto him with cords of Adamant? what though he ſat quietly now at Jeruſalem, 2 Sam. 11.1. free from fear of enemies? and could find time to look and luſt after his neighbours wife, would this alwaies hold, thought he? and could not God ſet up his own darling Abſolom, to put him to trouble? No; David ſaid in his proſperity, Non vacillabo. I ſhall never be moved; and why?
