John Trapp on Psalms 6:4

Verſ. 4. Return, O Lord, deliver my ſoul] He calleth hard upon Jehovah, which ſweet name of God he hath now five times in theſe four firſt Verſes made uſe of, as one that knew, and could improve the full import of it. Here David beggs of him to return, not by change of place, for God filleth all places (being Entèr, praeſentèr Deus hic & ubi que potentèr.)

But Miſerationis ſerenitate by a beam of his mercy, and by a diſpenſation of his gracious providence, altering his condition for the better, Deut. 30.9. Act. 15.16.

O ſave me for thy mercies ſake] Quàm pulcherrimè iſta ſupplicatio propriis & proficicuis ſermonibus explicatur, ſaith Caſſiodore concerning this text, i.e. How finely and fitly is this requeſt ſet forth? David pleadeth not Merit, but humbly craveth Mercy. The Heart (that peice of proud fleſh) muſt be brought to ſuch a temper and tameneſs, as to crouch to God, for the crums that fall from his table.
