1In the end of this verse is put this word (Sela.) And it doth note unto the Reader or Hearer, what a miserable and comfortless thing man is in trouble, if God be not present with him to help him. It is also put as a spur & prick for every Christian man and woman, to remember and call upon God, in the days of their troubles. For as the Jews say, where so ever this word (Sela) is, if doth admonish and stir up the Reader or Hearer, to mark what was said before it: for it is a word always put after very notable sentences. Then followeth the rest of such pains & troubles, as this Prophet suffered, whilst the Lord laid his cross upon him: after this sort.
