George Leo Haydock

Sorrows…iniquity. Hebrew, “cables….Belial.” By these figurative expressions, David declares to what dangers he had been exposed. They seem to be more applicable to our Saviour’s agony. (Berthier) — The wicked were constantly laying snares for both. We have the same idea enforced in the next verse. (Haydock) — The words are put into the mouth of fallen man, in the mass for Septuagesima[the third Sunday before Lent]. (Worthington)
