Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous,....

He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken. This is literally true of Christ, in whom the type of the passover lamb had its accomplishment, and this passage also; see Exodus 12:46; and seems better to agree with him than with any of his members, since the bones of many of them have been broken by one accident or another; and especially...

He keepeth all his bones. Not one of them is broken. The righteous may have skin wounds, and flesh wounds, but they shall not suffer any real hurt.
