John Trapp on Zephaniah 3:17

Verſe 17. The Lord thy God in the middeſt of thee is mighty] Even the mighty ſtrong God Eſay 9.6. the Giant, as the word ſignifies, the champion of his church. He being in the middeſt of thee cannot but ſee how thou art ſet upon; and how many dangers and difficulties thou encountereſt with, and will ſend thee in new ſupplies Eph. 1.19. ſeaſonable ſuccour.

He will ſave] This properly ſignifieth the privative part of mans happineſſe: but includeth alſo the poſitive. Jeſus will do all for his people.

He will rejoyce over thee with joy] As a bridegroome doth over his bride Eſa. Geſti ſuper te laetitiâ. 62.5. He will take ſpeciall complacency and content in thee, being made accepted in the beloved Eph. 1.6.

He will reſt in his love] And ſeek no further. Heb. He will be ſilent in his love, paſſing by ſmall faults without any the leaſt ſignification of his diſpleaſure: as if he were even fond over his church, and did err in his love towards her, as husbands are licenſed to do toward their wives Prov. 5.19. Some render it obmuteſcet in amore ſuo he ſhall be dumb in his love, ſo as he cannot ſpeak through exceſſe of love. Lovers are ſo tranſported ſometimes, that they cannot utter their minds.

He will joy over thee with ſinging] As a father doth over his child whom he beareth in his boſome, or dandleth on his knee.
