John Trapp on Psalms 38:10

Verſ. 10. [illegible: 1 span] ] Heb. [illegible: 1 span] toſſed and [illegible: 1 letter]ro, circuivit cor moum, inordinate movetur, et non quieſcit, ſaith Aben-Ezra The Hebrew word ſignifieth ſuch a kind of motion as that of Merchant, who runne up and down from one Countrey to another. Alſo the two laſt Radical are doubled to note, that it is more than an ordinary ſtirring and motion of the ſpirit, becauſe it is not come to its reſt. All earthly things to the ſoul are but as the air to the ſtone, can give it no ſtay till it come to God the center. As the circle is the perfecteſt figure, becauſe it beginneth and endeth the points do meet together. (as Mathematicians give the reaſon) the laſt point meeteth in the firſt, from whence it came. So ſhall wee never come to perfection or ſatiſfaction (ſaith a Reverend man) till our ſouls come to God, till God make the circle meet, &c. The Wicked wall[illegible: 1 letter] the round from one creature to another, Plaſ. 12.9. but they come not at God and hence they are ſo diſ-ſatisfied. Return to thy reſt (Heb. Reſts) ſaith David to his ſoul, that is to God, to whom hee here maketh his moan, Miſer anime varias ſubinde partes abreptus me deſerit.

As for the light of mine eyes] that lumen amicum of mine eyes is almoſt quite benighted.
