4: Sold - Whereas at other times there was abundance of wood and water throughout Judea.
6: We - The ten tribes were all carried captives into Assyria, and many of the kingdom of Judah fled into Egypt. Giving the hand may signify labouring for them: or, yielding up themselves to their power.
7: Their iniquities - The punishment of them.
9: The sword - The enemies lay encamped in all the plains, so that they could stir out no way but the sword of the Chaldeans was upon them.
13: Fell - Not being able to stand under the burdens laid upon them.
16: The crown - All our honour, splendor and dignity.
19: Thy throne - Altho' for our sins thou sufferest our throne to be cast down, yet thou art the same, thy power is not diminished, nor thy goodness abated.
21: Renew - Restore us to our former estate.
