Psalms73:7

Verſ. 7. Their eyes ſtand out with fatneſs] The Chaldee hath it, The ſimilitude of their face is changed through fatneſs. See Job 15.27. The Greek, For the wealth which they have, their eyes are lifted up. The Latine, Their iniquity proceedeth as it were from fatneſs.

They have more than heart could wiſh] Heb. They paſs the thoughts of the heart; Which the Greek rendreth,See Jer. 5.28. No man can think how wicked they are; thoſe ſtall-fed Sodomites for inſtance. So Aben-Ezra, Tranſgreſſiones perpetrant quas cogitare nefas eſt, they are more wicked than can be imagined; Others they covet beyond meaſure, and are inſatiable, thinking to incloſe the whole World in their net, as Timothy the Athenian did Cities and Towns in his toyles. Our tranſlation is not to be diſliked;Plut. in Sylla: neither yet are all to be accounted wicked, that have more than heart could wiſh.De Civ. Dei l. 5. c. 25. Bonus Deus Conſtantinum magnum tantis torrenis implevit muneribus, quanta opt are nullus anderet. ſaith Auguſtine.
