Psalm CVIII.4891    Lat. CVII. Why no exposition is here given.

1. I have not thought that the CVIII^th Psalm required an exposition; since I have already expounded it in the LVII^th Psalm,4892    Ps. lvii. 8–12, lx. 5–12. and in the LX^th, of the last divisions of which this Psalm consisteth. For the last part of the LVII^th is the first of this, as far as the verse, “Thy glory is above all the earth.” Henceforth to the end, is the last part of the LX^th: as the last part of the CXXXV^th is the same as that of the CXV^th,4893    Ps. cxxxv. 15, cxv. 4. from the verse, “The images of the heathen are but gold and silver:” as the XIV^th[4899] and LIII^d,4894    Ps. liii. with a few alterations in the middle, have everything the same from the beginning to the end. Whatever slight differences therefore occur in this CVIII^th Psalm, compared with those two, of parts of which it is composed, are easy to understand; just as we find in the LVII^th,4895    Ps. lvii. 7, 8. “I will sing and give praise; awake, O my glory:” here,“ I will sing and give praise, with my glory.”4896    Ps. cviii. 1. Awake, is said
