The word signifies both to make haste, and to trouble, the reason is, because, as some say, trouble makes hast, ill news comes apace; or, secondly, because we are very hasty to get out of trouble; and usually over-hasty; he that is in trouble would fain be out of it; no man loves to stick in such a condition: therefore the same word in the Hebrew elegantly signifies both to make hast, and to trouble. And hence one of the Ancients translates, Therefore have I hastened to his presence. Expounding it thus;1 Because he hath thus afflicted me, therefore leaving all the world, I make hast to him, I throw my self upon him, and leave my cause to him; that's a good sense, and very spiritual; For the Saints being afflicted, make hast to God, because he is their father, and because he alone is able to be their deliverer; who would not make hast to God upon such an interest? A wicked man turns from God by sinning against him, and he runs away from God afflicting him. He that delights in sin, cannot delight in God, who is the avenger of sin. But afflictions draw Saints nearer to God, therefore have I hastened (saith that translation) into his presence. But we have rendered it (as I conceive) better to the Intendment of this place.
