John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 55:5

Psa 55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. Ver. 5. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me ] Fearfulness of heart, and trembling of body, Timor cordis, tremor corporis; which last falleth out, when as the spirits flying back to the heart, to relieve it, leave the outward parts destitute. And horror hath overwhelmed me ] This was David’s infirmity; for he should have better fortified his heart against that cowardly passion of fear; the devil also... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 55:6

Psa 55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest. Ver. 6. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! ] Ut citissime et longissime fugerem, that I might swiftly fly far off from Absalom’s pursuers; as the dove saveth herself by fight, and not by fight, scoureth away to the rocks and deserts, Jeremiah 48:28 . Many souls are swifter of flight than doves; but these hold out better. R. Jonah saith, that whereas other birds, when they are wearied... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 55:7

Psa 55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. Selah. Ver. 7. Lo, then would I wander far off ] Far from the force and fury of these breathing devils. Jeremiah wisheth the like, as being tired out by the ungodly practices of his countrymen, Psalms 9:2 . And many a dear child of God, forced to be in bad company, cries, Oh that I had the wings, &c. Or if that Oh will not set him at liberty, he takes up that Woe, to express his misery, Woe is me, that I sojourn in... read more

Psa 55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest. Ver. 8. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm, &c. ] I would thrust my ship into any creek in the whole world, go as far as my legs, nay, wings, could carry me. Of the swiftness of the dove’s flight, see Plin. l. 10, c. 37; and how David hastened his flight from Absalom, see 2 Samuel 15:14 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 55:9

Psa 55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. Ver. 9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues ] Heb. Swallow them up, O Lord, and divide their tongues; by an allusion, as some conceive, to those two famous judgments of God upon Dathan and Abiram, first, Numbers 16:31-33 , and then, secondly, upon the Babel builders, Genesis 11:6-9 , both which were thrown out for examples to all succeeding ages (as St Jude saith of the Sodomites, Jdg... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 55:10

Psa 55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it. Ver. 10. Day and night they go about it, upon the walls thereof ] The ruffian soldiers do, as in garrisons is usual; or violence and strife do; so that in no place are good men in safety from rapines and robberies. Mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it ] What work may be thought to be made the common soldiers, among the women especially, when Absalom openly defileth... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 55:11

Psa 55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. Ver. 11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof ] As if it were no longer, as once, Theopolis, but Poneropolls, for all kind of naughtiness there. Deceit and guile depart not from her streets ] The Vulgate hath it, Usura et dolus, Usury and guile; and Theodoret’s note here is, Notandum est, non mode Novi Testamenti perfectionem, sed Legis statum faenus damnare, that usury is condemned in both Old and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 55:12

Psa 55:12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him: Ver. 12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me ] Ahithophel’s perfidy and villany troubled David more than all the rest; there not being any wound worse, as Sophocies saith, than the treachery of a friend, ουδεν μειζον ελκος η φιλος αδικων ; he being such a kind of enemy, quem neque... read more

Psa 55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. Ver. 13. But it was thou, a man mine equal ] Heb. according to my rank, my compeer, my colleague, mine Alter-ego, my bosom friend, one that stood even with me, and upon the same ground, as it were. My guide ] In all mine affairs and actions; so that I thought nothing well done that I did not by his advice and counsel; my duke, my doctor, my Rabbi Davidis, as Rabbi David hath it, out of Kabuenaki. read more

Psa 55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of God in company. Ver. 14. We took sweet counsel together ] It was my great delight to confer and consult with him, especially about the things of God and the exercises of religion; which is or should be sacratissimum inter homines vinculum, the straitest tie of all. Religioa religando. And walked unto the house of God in company ] But so do those false Italians, who carry a pocket Church book with a pistol hid in the... read more
