SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
Ver. 161. Princes have persecuted me without a cause] And
Quae venit indigne poena, dolenda venit.
But better without a cause than for evil-doing, 1Pe 4:12-19 David suffered by these potentates, because he was small and despised, Psalms 119:141, as a little dog is worried by the bigger, as the lesser fishes are devoured by the greater.
But my heart standeth in awe of thy word] The fear of God driveth out the fear of the creature, Isaiah 8:12,13 .
