John Trapp on Psalms 9:5

Verſ. 5. Thou haſt rebuked the Heathen, &c.] God firſt chideth the Churches Enemies by lighter Judgements; if theſe be not improved, he deſtroyeth them, Pſal. 119.21. and becauſe they ſought to obſcure and extirpate his name from amongſt men, therefore he puts out their name, that is, their fame and reputation for ever and yet, or for ever and a day, as we uſe to ſay: —Ingloria vita recedit, they go out in a ſnuff, as did the Primitive and Modern Perſecutors, of abhorred memory.
