John Trapp on Psalms 40:2

Verſ. 2. He brought me up alſo out of an horrible pit] è puteo ſonitus, ut Iſa. 17.12[illegible: 1 letter] out of a noyſe-full pit, where there is a continual hurry by the great fall of waters into it; He meaneth, out of dreadful dangers, out of a deſperate diſeaſe, ſaith R. Obadiah; who alſo by rock here underſtandeth perfect health, Sanitatem in corpore, ſanctitatem in corde.

Out of the miry clay] E luto, Luto, ſaith Kimchi, for here are two words uſed, of one and the ſame ſenſe; to ſhew, that as a bemired beaſt he was in a periſhing condition, till God puld him out, and ſet him on firm ground.

And eſtabliſhed my goings] That I might not relapſe into the ſame, or fall into another malady or miſchief.
