EXPLANATION

Verse 7. They. Hebrew “thou hast.”—Shadow. Hebrew “in the depths,” seem to have read a, v, and m, in those two places, which are now wanting. Houbig.—The Chal. has, the shadow of death, as well as the Vulg. All this regards Jesus Christ, though it may be applied to any in distress. Bert.—The wicked endeavour to kill the soul by sin, as well as the body. Worthington.—Great difficulties entangle the psalmist: Christ descends into hell. Menochius.
