Psalms 44:25

Our soul, i.e. either our lives or persons; or rather bodies, as it is explained in the next clause, and as the soul is oft taken by a synecdoche, as Numbers 11:6 Psalms 16:10, Psalms 106:15, &c. To the dust; either to the ground, where we lie prostrate at our enemies feet, or to the grave. Our belly cleaveth unto the earth; we are not only thrown down to the earth, but we lie there like dead carcasses fixed to it, without any ability or hope of rising again.
