All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
Ver. 7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn] Contemptus populi ludibriis et opprobriis declaratur, Luke 22:63. The apostle speaketh of cruel mockings, Hebrews 11:36. The Pharisees, who were covetous, derided him, Luke 16:14, and set his people on the stage, as it were, for mocking stocks, Hebrews 10:36. Now, post Carthaginem vinci neminem puduit, saith the historian. If Christ, David, and other precious men were so disgraced and abused by the world, what matter is it for us?
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head] God is sensible of any the least affront or offence done to his people, be it but in an unseemly gesture, as Laban's lowerings, Mat 27:39 and sets them upon record against the day of account.
