CXXXIV. 1. now.

These are the greater part of the Supplements from the Vulgar, and Seventy, and they are fo inconfiderable, that fome may think that it was needlefs to take any notice of them,and fo fhould I, but that I would not give occafion to any to say, that I have omitted any thing, that has but the appearance of an Objection.

3. The remaining Supplements are mere Repetitions; and they are of four forts.

I. Sometimes the very words going before, in the fame Verse or Pfalm, are repeated.

Pfal. LXVII. 1. God be merciful unto us [and be merciful unto us] CVIII. 1. My heart is ready, [ my heart is ready ]

CXVIII. 2. he is gracious ] is repeated from the foregoing verfe.

CXXXVI. 27. This Verfe is a Repetition of the second Verfe of the fame Pfalm.

II. At other places the words are repeated from another Pfalm. Pfal. XIII. 6. [Yea I will praife the name of the Lord most high] from Pfalm vii. 18.

XIV. 2. [No not one, ] from Pfal. liii. 4. you have also
thefe words, Pfal. xiv. 3. in the Hebrew.

5. [Their throat is an open Sepulchre, with their
tongues have they deceived,] from Pfal. v. 10.
[The poifon of afps is under their lips,] from Pfal.

cxl. 3.

6. [Their mouth is full of curfing and bitterness, ] from Pfal. x. 7.

7. [There is no fear of God before their eyes,] from

Pfal. xxxvi. I.

Pfa'.

Pfal. XIV. 9. Even where no fear was,] from Pfal. liii. 6.
LXXIII. 27. In the gates of the daughter of Sion, ] from
Pfal. ix. 14.

CXLVII. 8. [And herb for the ufe of man] from Pfal. civ. 14.
CXLVIII. 5. [He fpake the word and they were made,]

Pfal. xxxiii. 6. and the fence of them is contained in the very next words, [he commanded, and they were created. III. Thefe words which the Seventy, and Vulgar have inferted into the xiv Pfalm, ver, 6. [ their feet are swift to shed blood. 7. Destruction and unhappiness are in their ways, and the way of peace have they not known, are found, Prov. i. 16. and Ifaiah lix. 7, 8.

IV. Laftly, Some Supplements are only a repeating the fame fence in other words.

Pfal. VII. 12. [ftrong and Patient ] is a Repetition or Explanation of the foregoing words [God is a righteous Judge.] [ftrong] is the English of the Hebrew Name [El ] by which God is there called; and Patience is the property of a juft Judge.

Pfal. XXII. [Look upon me.] This is no more than what is neceflarily imply'd in the foregoing words, [My God, My God; ] for when we call after one that is leaving us, what do we mean thereby, but that he should look back, and caft his eye once more upon us?

Pfal. XXVIII. 3. [Neither deftroy me.] This fignifies the fame thing with the foregoing words, or explains the meaning of them, viz. O pluck me not away. ]

Pfal. XXXIII. 16. [And cafteth out the Counfels of Princes, ] meaning Heathen Princes, fuch as disturbed the people of If rael's Peace, and therefore this is no more than was faid at the beginning of the verfe, viz. [The Lord bringeth the Counsel of the Heathen to nought.]

Pfal. XLI. [And needy,] the fame with [poor] the foregoing

word.

Pfal. LXV. 1. [In Jerufalem,] the fame City with [Sion,] mention'd in the foregoing claufe of the verfe.

Pfal. CXXXII. 4. [Nor the temples of my head to take any reft.] They exprefs the very fame thing that was faid before, viz. [1 will not fuffer mine Eyes to fleep, nor mine Eye-lids to flumber. Pfal. CXXXIV. 2. [Even in the Courts of the houfe of our God." He had just before mention'd the whole Temple, or [house of the Lord of which [the courts ] were only a part or ap purtenance.

Mem. [Oyle] fupply'd, Pfal. iv. 8. is accounted for in the Preface, Pag. 6. 7. and fo is that Supplement, Pfal. xxxvii. 29. There remains but two, viz. [young rams] Pfal. xxix. 1 [wrought about, dc. xlv. 1o. for which fee the Notes on thofe places.
