John Trapp on Psalms 40:14

Verſ. 14. Let them be aſhamed and confounded together, &c.] Theſe and the like imprecations muſt be looked upon as Prophecies. Beſides, David looked upon them not as his enemies only, but Gods as well and ſuch alſo as were deſperate, and irrecoverable. So Paul prayed againſt the Copper-ſmith, the Church againſt Jutian, &c.

Let them be driven backward, &c.] A Chriſtian may without ſin be ſenſible of indignities; only it muſt bee the mourning of Doves, and not the roaring of Bears.
