John Trapp on Psalms 34:7

Verſ. 7. The Angel of the Lord encampeth round about, &c.] Not one Guardian-Angel only (as ſome have hence conceited) nor Michael the Arch-Angel only, that Angel of the Covenant, Jeſus Chriſt, as Auguſtine expoundeth this Text, but an Hoſt of created Angels, thoſe miniſtring Spirits, ſent forth to miniſter for them who ſhall be heirs of Salvation, Heb. 1.14. For although Chriſt the Captain of our Salvation needeth not their help, for the ſafe-guard of his people; yet for our comfort he maketh uſe of the holy Angels, who meet us ſtill, as they did Jacob at Mahanaim (where they made a lane for him, as the Guard doth for their Prince, as the word importeth) Gen. 32.1. they miniſter many bleſſings to us, though inviſibly; ſtand at our right hands, Luke 1.11. as ready to releeve us, as the Devils are to miſchief us,Sicut hoſtes ſunt in circuitu, Kimchi. Zech. 3.1. yea they pitch Camp round about us, as here (Oh the dignity and ſafety of a Saint in this reſpect!) fight in battel-array againſt our enemies, Dan. 10.20. (the Heathens ſpeak much of their Caſtor and Pollux fighting for them; and H[illegible: 1 letter]ſiod telleth of thirty thouſand demy-gods that were [non-Latin text not transcribed] Keepers of Mankind) and convey them at death, as they did Lazarus, through the enemies Country, the air, into Abrahams boſome, Luke 16.
