EXPLANATION

Verse 9. Because. Saying, Thou, and so forth Worthington. verse 1. Calmet.—High. Hebrew helyon is a title of God, ( Calmet.) not the adjective to refuge, (Bert.) as Chal. Aquila, and so forth have taken it. “Thou hast placed thy dwelling most high.” So that there, and so forth verse 10. It is evident that the following promises relate not to the Lord, ( Calmet.) but to the just man. Prot. “because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most high thy habitation.” This transposition is not authorized by the text. Bible.
