John Trapp on Psalms 68:13

Verſ. 13.Inter Chytropod[illegible: 1 letter]s. Though ye have ly[illegible: 1 letter]n among the Pots] Quaſiobruti roti & oppleti fuligine & tenebris, black and ſooty, as the black guard of an army, or as Skullions in a Kitchin, who lye ſometimes all right, like beaſts, in a chimney-corner; or as your Fore-Fathers in Egypt, when their ſhoulders were not yet removed from the burden, nor their hands from the pots, Pſal. 81.6. The meaning is, though ye have been in a low and loathſome condition, yet now. ye ſhall ſhine and flouriſh, Verba ſunt maliorum, ſaith Kimchi, theſe are the words of thoſe women, annunciatrices in the eleventh verſe. Beza maketh them to be the Pſalmiſts words to thoſe women that divided the ſpoil, verſ. 12. Vixiſtis adhuc puella, &c. ye have hitherto dwelt at home, and waſht pots, &c. but now being enriched by the ſpoils, yee may come abroad fair and trimme, like white Doves with gilt feathers.

Yet ſhall ye be as the wings of a Dove] Ye ſhall flye ſwiftly from the ſtorm of cruel perſecution, ſaith the Syroack Interpreter; yea you ſhall ſhine, and make a glorious ſhew, ficut nivea columbae per medium aercus inter volitandum aureum quendam ſplendarem ejaculantur. See Iſa. 54.11, 12, 13. the Churches bricks made in her bondage ſhall be turned into Saphires.
