1The word translated to mark, notes a diligent observation; So it is used (Chap. 10.14.) If I sin then thou markest me, (that is, thou takest exact or strict notice of me) and thou wilt not acquit me from mine Iniquity. (Psal. 37.37.) mark the perfect man, 2and behold the upright, that is, take special knowledge of him, for the end of that man is peace. (Psal. 107.43.) who so is wise will observe, or mark, these things, he shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord. So here, Hast thou marked? hast thou with diligence and seriousness of spirit observed, the old way which wicked men have trodden. 3The Hebrew is, The way of age, the way of ages, or as some read, the Eternal way, the way of Eternity. David prayeth (Psal. 139.23, 24.) Lead me in the way everlasting; that is, Lead me in the way of holiness and righteousness, which leads to eternity. Which yet one of the Rabbins expounds, as a periphrasis of death; for death is called, the way of all the earth (1 King. 2.2.) the way of all flesh (Josh. 23.14.) As if David had said, Lord, if upon search thou findest that I walk in any way of wickedness, that is, of wilful sinning, then destroy me, lead me to my grave, yea cast me with the wicked to hell, or to everlasting condemnation. Master Broughton thus; Hast thou marked the way of the old world?
