John Trapp on Psalms 68:30

Verſ. 30. Rebuke the company of Spear-men] Or, Launce-men; Heb. The beaſt of the reeds; that is, ſay ſome, voluptuous perſons that wallow in Wealth, plenty,Arab. Sicut Pontifices, Cardinales, Epiſcopi & horum ſatellites. and pleaſure, Job 40.21. Behemoth lyeth in the Fennes, which Gul. Pariſunſis applieth to the Devil in ſenſual hearts; Reeds grow not but in fat and moyſt places: But they do better, who render it the Rout, or crue of the Cane; that is, men that bear Reeds or Canes, whereof Spears, Arrows, and Launces were wont to bee made: theſe men, or rather beaſts, cruel, ſavage, and bloudy, rebuke, that is, repreſs.

The multitude of the Bulls] The Commanders and Chieftaines.

With the Calves of the people] The common Souldiers.

With pieces of ſilver] With an Homage-penny, as they call it.

That delight in War] That make a ſport of it, as Joab, 2 Sam. 2.14. as Pyrrhus King of Epirotes, who made a recreation of Warfare. So did not David, though neceſſitated thereunto for the glory of God; hee was a man of Warre from his youth. If we Princes (ſaid our Hen. 7.) ſhould delight in War, or take every occaſion that is offered, the World ſhould never bee quiet, but wearied with continual Wars.
