Verſ. 3. surely he ſhall deliver thee from the ſnare of the Fowler] i. e. Of the Devil, and his Emiſſaries, 2 Tim. 2.26. who by force and fraud ſeek to inſnare the Saints. Gratiae privativae multò plures ſunt quam poſitivae, ſaith Gerſon. God daily delivereth his from innumerable deaths and dangers. By Fowler here, ſome underſtand the puniſhing Angel, 2 Sam. 24. and conceive that this Pſalm was penned upon occaſion of that great Plague that followed upon Davids numbring the people; for then, if ever, both Prince and People ſtood in need of ſpecial comfort, and here they have it. Divine conſolations are therefore ſweet, becauſe ſeaſonable and ſuitable.
And from the noyſome Peſtilence] That uncomfortable and contagious diſeaſe.Ab excidio exitiorum. The vulgar rendreth it, and from rough words. In Hebrew Dabhar ſignifieth a word, Debher, a Peſt; an evil tongue hath the Peſtilence in it.
