John Trapp on Psalms 56:5

Verſ. 5. Every day they wreſt my words] Or, my matters; they diſtort and pervert every thing I ſay, or do, from the true intention, and all to make a Traitour of me. That I carried my ſelf wiſely in the Court, valiantly in the Field, faithfully toward Jonathan, cautelouſly for the ſafe-guard of mine own life, ſhifting as I could from one place to another; all this they ſay was done out of affectation of the Kingdom, and as ſeeking Sauls death. So they dealt by our Saviour in the Goſpel, taking that with the left hand, which he tendered with the right, and many times marring a good Text by an ill Gloſs put upon it. So Simon the Loper ſerved that good Woman, who made an Ewer of her eyes, and a Towel of her hair, Luke 7.34. Men ſhould interpret every thing the beſt way, and not as Logicians do, Sequi partem deteriorem.
