3 c He meaneth the lace of praising, euen the Tabernacle: or els it is so called, because he gaue the people continually occasion to praise him.

6 d And seming moste miserable of all creatures, which was ment of Christ. And herein appeareth the vnspeakable loue of God toward man, that he wolde thus abase his sonne for our sakes.

9 e Euen from my birth thou hast giuen me occasion to trust in thee.

10 ! He recouereth him self from the bottomles pit of tentations and groweth in hope. And here vnder his owne persone he setteth forthe the figure of Christ, whome he did forese by the Spririt of prophecie, that he shulde maruelously, & strangely be detested & abased, before his Father shulde raise & exalte him againe.

10 f For except Gods prouidence preserue the infants, they shulde perish a thousand times in the mothers wombe.

12 g He meaneth, that his enemies were so fat, proude and cruel, that they were rather beastes then men.

14 h Before, he spake of the crueltie of his enemies, and now he declareth the inwarde griefs of the minde, so that Christ was tormented, bothe in soule and bodie.

15 i Thou hast suffred me to be without all hope of life.

16 k Thus Dauid complaineth as thogh he were nailed by his enemies bothe hands & fete but this was accomplished in Christ.

20 l My life that is solitarie, left alone & forsaken of all, {Psal. 35,17}, & {25,16}

23 n He promiseth to exhort the Church that thei by his example might praise the Lord.

24 o The poore afflicted are comforted by this example of Dauid or Christ.

25 p Which were sacrifices of thankesgiuing, which they offred by Gods commandment when thei were deliuered our of any great danger.

29 r Thogh the poore be first named, as {ver. 26}, yet the welthie are not separated from the grace of Christs kingdome.

29 s In whome there is no hope that he shal recouer life: so nether poore nor riche, quicke nor dead shalbe from his kingdome.

30 t Meaning the posteritie, which the Lord kepeth as a fede to the Church to continue his praise among men.
