107:4
King Dauid subdued not only some partes of Chanaan, not subiect to the lewes before (2. Reg. 51. Par. 11.) but also brought the Philistims, Moabites, Ammonites, Idumeans, Amalechites, the kinges of Soba, Syria, and Emath, to pay tribute, 2. Reg. 8 1. Par. 18.
Yet al these victories and conquestes were but a figure of Christs powre, and dominion in al nations. And therfore, the rest of this Psalme, by S. Augustin, and other fathers iudgement, was rather prophetically vttered by Dauid, in the person of Christ, and more perfectly performed by Christ in his Church, then historically auerred of Dauid himselfe.

The rest of this Psalme is the same with the latter part of the 59. from the 7. verse.

… longer gives back its prey (Job 7, 9; 14, 12; 16, 22; 17, 13-16). A dark place, where "nullus ordo sed sempiternus horror inhabitat" (Job 10, 21), it is described as a prison land, closed by gates and bars (Is. 38, 10; Job 38, 17; Ps. 9, 14; 107, 18).
