That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
Ver. 13. That thou mayest give him rest] Here usually, but hereafter certainly. Mors aerumnarum requies was Cbaucer's motto; Those that die in the Lord shall rest from their labours. Meanwhile they are chastened of the Lord that they may not be condemned with the world, 1 Corinthians 11:32 .
Until the pit be digged for the wicked] Until the cold grave hold his body, and hot hell hold his soul.
