Psalms39:4
Verſ. 4. Lord, make mee to know mine end] This Auſt in expoundeth of Heaven the end of all his troubles, which he now ſighed after. But Vatablus, Calvin, and moſt modern Interpreters conceive that David doth here ingenuouſly confeſſe that he grudged againſt God; conſidering the greatneſſe of his grief, and the ſhortneſſe of his life.
And the meaſure of my dayes] An admalorum qua perfero compenſationem ſufficiant, whether they are likely to be enow to make mee amends for my grievous ſufferings. This hee ſeemeth to ſpeak either out of impatiency, or curioſity at leaſt.
That I may know how frail I am] How ſoon-ceaſing, and ſhort liv'd.Quam darabilis ſum. Trem[illegible: 1 letter] Vatablus hath it, quam mandanus ſim, how long I am like to be a man of this World, this vale of miſery, and valley of tears.
