As he that is wi•e.
The word in the root of it signifies to Understand, to be Prudent; and by a Metonymy to be happy, or to prosper, because usually affairs succeed well and prosper in the hands of wise men; and happiness usually follows wisdom; therefore to be wise, and to be profitable, are signified by one and the same word in the Hebrew. So in this Text, He that is wise is profitable to himself, that is, his affairs shall prosper. We find this Title prefixed to divers Psalms, Maschil, 1which is as much as A teaching Psalm, a Psalm making wise, a Psalm for Instruction. This Title is given those Psalms, which as they have some extraordinary matter, so usually they are Psalms of complaint under affliction; and the reason of that is, because there is much instruction in correction, much light of holy knowledge is to be had in the School of the Cross: therefore usually those Psalms that describe the afflictions of the Church, are called Maschil, Psalms of Instruction.2
