Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 69:9

For: this is the reason of that alienation of my brethren and others from me, because there is a vast difference and contrariety in our tempers.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 69:12

The judges and magistrates, who used to sit (which was their posture, Exodus 18:14; Proverbs 20:8, &c.) in the gates of cities, the usual places of judicature; for David oft complains of his hard usage from these men, as Psalms 58:1,Psalms 58:2; Psalms 119:23, and elsewhere; which was the more grievous, because these,... read more
