Verse 11. Covered. Retiring from society. Bert.—Septuagint Rom. and Houbig. “I humbled.” Hebrew “I bewailed my soul in fasting,” (Aquila) as if death were inevitable; and this practice was derided, as the fasts of the Church, ( Bible.) and mortification, ( Worthington.) are still by unbelievers. Bible.—The Jews seemed to scoff at the thirst of Christ, when they gave him vinegar; and the devil took occasion from his 40 days’ fast to tempt him. Bert.
