Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him. This is a translation of the Septuagint Version rather than of the Hebrew text, which runs, Trust in the Lord (literally, Roll [thy care] upon the Lord): let him deliver him. Let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. St. Matthew has put it on record that this text was actually cited by the scribes and elders who witnessed the Crucifixion, and applied to our Lord in scorn (Matthew 27:43). They quoted apparently from the Septuagint, but with an inaccuracy common at the time, when books were scarce, and persons had to depend on their memory of what they had occasionally heard read.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) He trusted.--So the LXX. (Comp. Matthew 27:43.) So, too, Ewald among moderns. But generally the form gol (short for gol) is taken as an imperative. Literally, roll thyself on God. (Comp. Psalm 37:5; Proverbs 16:3, margin.)
