John Trapp on Psalms 55:15

Verſ. 15. Let death ſeize upon them] Irruat ſuper illos mors, as a mercileſſe Land-Lord, as a cruel creditor, or as he in the Goſpel who took his fellow by the throat and ſaid, Pay that thou oweſt mee. A ſad time it muſt needs be with the wicked, when death ſhall come upon them with a writ of Habeas corpus, and the Devil with another of Habeas animam. Capiat illos mors, ſo Aben-Ezra rendreth it, Exigat mors in eos, ſo Kimchi, a [non-Latin text not transcribed] Pſal. 89.2[illegible: 1 letter]. Here it is written ſaith he, without an Aleph, as it were with a ſwift hand; and as if death and ſeize were all one word; to note the ſudden ſtroak of death, and that it will ſoon diſpatch them: To which ſenſe alſo ſome render it, Decipiat eos mors, Let death deceive them; be too nimble for them.

And let them go down quick into Hell] As did Dathan and his complices, Numb. 16. See on verſe 9. According to this imprecation, Ahitophel and Judas hanging themſelves, went to Hell alive, that is, hail and well; not infeebled by ſickneſſe firſt. Auguſtine ſaith, that Hereticks do the like, falling with open eyes, and ſelf-condemned.

For wickedneſſe is in their dwellings, and among them] Heb. In their ſo journing-place (for here we are but gueſts or ſojourners) and in the middle of them, that is, in their hearts and houſes both, undi que circumfluunt malitia & maleficiis, they are as naught as need to be.
