    VERSE 1
    - (Title.)

      The soul being invisible, its distempers are also so;
      therefore the sacred writers describe them by the distempers
      of the body.  (See the Parallel Texts on these verses.)  On
      reading these and similar passages, say Bp. Lowth, some, who
      were but little acquainted with the genius of Hebrew poetry,
      have pretended to enquire into the nature of the disease with
      which the poet was afflicted; not less absurdly, in my
      opinion, than if they had perplexed themselves to discover in
      what river he was plunged, when he complains that "the deep
      waters had gone over his soul."

      Instead of {chaymin,} "lively" Bp. Lowth would read
      {chinmon,} "without cause:"--"but mine enemies without cause
      have strengthened themselves."  As this emendation renders
      this member of the sentence parallel to the other, it is by
      no means improbable:  see Ps 35:19; 5 79:5.
