John Trapp on Psalms 34:18

Verſ. 18. The Lord is nigh unto them, &c.] More nigh than the bark is to the Tree, for he is with them, and in them continually; pouring the oyl of his grace into theſe broken veſſells, quorum corda pecc at a corum non amplius retinent, ſed, ut vas fractum, effundunt, faith Aben-Ezra here, whoſe hearts retain not their ſins any longer, but poure them out as water before the Lord.

And ſaveth ſuch as bee of a contrite spirit] Such as are ground to pouder, as it were, with ſenſe of ſin, and fear of wrath; yet not without good hope of mercy. Theſe God delivereth out of their dangers; and in fine bringeth them to eternall bleſſedneſſe.
