Thy fierce wrath goeth over me, etc.] Or “wraths” f1256, burning wrath; the whole of divine wrath, in all its fierceness, due to the sins of his people: these, like the mighty waves of the sea, passed over him, threatening to overwhelm him, (<198938>Psalm 89:38), thy terrors have cut me off; from the presence of God, and out of his sight; as sometimes the Lord’s people are ready to imagine, when forsaken by him, (<193122>Psalm 31:22) or from the land of the living, as the Messiah was, and in a judicial way, though not for any sin of his own, (<235308>Isaiah 53:8 <270926> Daniel 9:26).
