John Trapp on Psalms 73:6

Verſ. 6. Therefore pride compaſſeth them about as a chain] The pride of their hearts breaketh forth in their coſtly habits, whiles they are torquati, & auro ac gemmis amicti, ſetting up their plumes as Peacocks, which have their names in Hebrew from the joy they take in their fair feathers; ſo do theſe glory in their pride, and are puffed up with a fooliſh perſwaſion of their own prudence. Ʋermis divitiarum eſt ſuperbia. Charge the rich that they be not high-minded, 1 Tim. 6.17. He is a great rich man, ſaith Auſtin, and greater than his riches, who doth not therefore think himſelf great, becauſe he is rich. Magna cognatio, ſaith Another, Ut rei ſic nominis, divitiis & vitiis, He is a rare rich man that is not the worſe for his wealth. The Palm-tree, they ſay, wil not grow in a fat ground, but ſalt and aſhes muſt, in that caſe, be caſt at the root, to qualify the ſtrength of the ſoil: So grace will not grow in a fat heart, without the ſalt of mortification, and aſhes of humiliation. Their heart is fat as greaſe, but I delight in thy law.

Violence covereth them as a garment] Violence,Pſal. 119.70. or wrong-dealing is the perpetual companion of pride, and covereth them a[illegible: 1 letter] a garment, finely fitted to their bodies, as was the Harlots habit, Prov. 7.10. Aben-Ezra rendreth it, obruit eos, overwhelmeth them; that is, domineereth over them. Some Rabbines render it, Nates eorum violentia tegit.
