I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother's belly.
Ver. 10. I was cast upon thee from the womb] Id est, a patre et matre mea, saith Kimchi, by my father and my mother, whom thou, Lord, feddest, and filledst her breasts, that she might suckle me, Veluti exposititius tibi fui a matrice (Vat.). Did men but seriously consider what kept and fed them in the womb, and at the breasts, when neither they could shift for themselves, nor their parents do much for them, they would conclude he would much more now by their holy prayers, honest endeavours, &c.
Thou art my God from my mother's belly] This is a privilege proper to children born within the covenant, and they may claim it; they have God for their God from their nativity; and they may lay their reckoning so in all their addresses unto God.
