Thus have you the general observations of the Text, now I come to a more punctual and intimate view of them both in the petition, and in the conclusion of them, consider the words as a Petition, they yield unto us two main considerations.
1. One of sin in presumption, [Keep back thy servant from presumptuous sins.
2. Another of sin in Dominion, [Let them not have dominion over me.]
First, For presumptuous sins; there are divers expositions of these words.
1. Keep me Ab alienis, scilicet peccatis, from those sins which by the suggestion or temptation of others I am enticed to; or as others, Ab alienis, (i) falsis diis, from another, or false gods that I do not serve them, and be not captivated by them; these think the Word to be Zurim from Zur, which signifies Alienari.
