John Trapp on Psalms 49:16

Verſ. 16. Be not thou afraid] David was comforted, and ſo he would have others to be: for as it was ſaid of a certain Biſhop of Lincoln, that he held nothing his own but what he had beſtowed upon others, Hoc babeo quodcun que dedi: ſo the Saints think their comforts nothing ſo comfortable, unleſs others may ſhare in them, and fare the better by them.

When the glory of his houſe is increaſed] viz. By a numerous Off-ſpring, ſtately building, gay furniture, great rents and revenues; for as they ſay of the metal they make glaſs of, it is neareſt melting when it ſhineth brighteſt; ſo are the wicked neareſt deſtruction when at greateſt luſtre.
