Psalms 66:11

Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

Ver. 11. Thou broughtest us into the net] A metaphor from hunters or fowlers, Utitur figuris tanquam in poemate.

Thou layedst affliction upon our loins] Coarctationem in lumbis; we are not only hampered, as in a net, but fettered, as with chains; as if we had been in the jailor's or hangman's hands.
