Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child.
Ver. 2. Surely I have behaved] Heb. if I have not, &c., a deep asseveration, such as hath the force of an oath, Si non composui et sedavi.
And quieted myself] Heb. stilled or made silent my soul; chiding it when distempered or noiseful, as the mother doth her weanling.
As a child that is weaned of his mother] Who neither thinketh great things of himself nor seeketh great things for himself; but is lowly and fellowly, Matthew 18:1, innocent and unaware, taking what his mother giveth him, and resting in her love.
My soul is even as a weaned child] Who will not be drawn to suck again, though never so fair and full strutting a breast. So not David, the world's dugs.
