1 One in respect of God, viz. his favour and love unto his people, which he manifesteth by being in the congregation of the righteous. That is, among all righteous persons; and that not with an idle presence, but standing with them and for them, to uphold, direct, and comfort them according to their need, and to confound all such as lift up their heads against them. 2 Another cause is in regard of the enemies of God and of his people, to wit, their ⟨p. 85⟩malice and sinfulness: against which the holy Ghost inveigheth by way of insultation, You have made a mock, &c. q. d.

That is, at their resolute purpose to seek God, and their constant endeavours to depend upon him, as the words following seem to imply. Because the Lord is his trust. q. d. You are so far from taking good ways, and resting upon the providence and goodness of God your selves, that you disgrace and despite those that will do so; and therefore without doubt, woe and misery shall overtake and overwhelm you, when you little imagine any such matter.
