Psalms54:7

Verſ. 7. For he hath delivered mee] i. e. He ſurely will: this is the language of faith; this is the triumph of Truſt.

And mine eye hath ſeen my deſire upon mine enemies] This was not an evill eye of envy or private revenge; ſuch as was that of him, who when he ſaw a pit full of mansblood, cryed out, O formo ſum ſpectaculum! O brave ſight! or that of Antichriſt who hath oft glutted his eyes with many ſuch goodly bloody ſights; as when he cauſed the Maſſacre of Paris to be painted in his Palace,Thuan. and had the Admirals head ſent him for a preſent: But as admiring Gods juſtice on his enemies, and love toward his people, he was well pleaſed with ſuch a providence, and beheld it with comfort. The Arabick rendreth it, Oculus meus requievit. Tremellius, Mine eye beholdeth mine enemies; I dare now boldly look them in the face, being ſtrengthened with thy might, &c.
