When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; rather, for he that maketh inquisition for blood (see Genesis 9:5) remembereth them. God, i.e; the Requirer of blood (Kay), remembers, when he makes his inquisition, those who are oppressed (per.

9), and who seek him (Psalms 9:10). He forgetteth not the cry of the humble; or, the afflicted (Kay, Cheyne). He comes to the aid of such persons, and avenges them on their enemies.
