Shall not Sion say, etc... The meaning is, that Sion, viz., the church,
shall not only be able to commemorate this or that particular person of
renown born in her, but also to glory in great multitudes of people and
princes of her communion; who have been foretold in the writings of the
prophets, and registered in the writings of the apostles.

them that have been in her.
86:7. The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

shadow of death.
87:8. Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought
in upon me.
87:9. Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me
an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:
87:10. My eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee,
O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.
87:11. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to
life, and give praise to thee?
87:12. Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth
in destruction?
87:13. Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the
land of forgetfulness?
87:14. But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer
shall prevent thee.
87:15. Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy
face from me?
87:16. I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have
been humbled and troubled.

87:18. They have come round about me like water all the day: they have
compassed me about together.

acquaintance, because of misery.
