Psalms 64:9

Psa 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Ver. 9. And all men shall fear ] Seeing such and such banged up in gibbets, as it were, for a terror to others, Poena ad paucos, metus ad omnes.

And shall declare the work of God ] viz. His power and providence, which some doubt till thus powerfully convinced, as Claudian was by the destruction of Ruffinus.

Absolvitque deos; et non iam ad culmina rerum

Iniustos crevisse queror; tolluntur in altum,

Ut lapsu graviore ruant -
