First, Thus; when I was only not Cut off by darkness, ¹he hath hid himself in darkness from my face. This translation the Original may bear with some little supplement, which is usual in like Cases, when there is no strain upon the general scope of the place, and the meaning is clearly this, Whereas I am only not cut off by darkness, that is, whereas my troubles are such as have only ⟨p. 464⟩not extinguished my life, when I am in this pitiful miserable plight, He (that is, God) hath hid himself from me in darkness. So that here he speaks of a twofold darkness or evil that was upon him: first, affliction upon his body; secondly, desertion upon his spirit; and so the negative particle not, is rendered by some only not, it is only not death with me,² yet the Lord is pleased to hide his face from me; whereas we say, He hath not Covered the darkness from my face; this translation saith, He hath Covered his own face with darkness, or, Covered himself with darkness from my face. First, thereby intimating that God doth often join spiritual troubles with corporal, the hidings of his face with the troubles of our flesh. Secondly, that outward troubles are then most grievous to us, when God hides or withdraws his presence from us.
