7. by the roes —not an oath but a solemn charge, to act as cautiously as the hunter would with the wild roes, which are proverbially timorous; he must advance with breathless circumspection, if he is to take them; so he who would not lose Jesus Christ and His Spirit, which is easily grieved and withdrawn, must be tender of conscience and watchful ( Ezekiel 16:43 ; Ephesians 4:30 ; Ephesians 5:15 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:19 ). In Margin, title of Psalms 22:1 , Jesus Christ is called the " Hind of the morning," hunted to death by the dogs (compare Song of Solomon 2:8 ; Song of Solomon 2:9 , where He is represented as bounding on the hills, Song of Solomon 2:9- : ). Here He is resting, but with a repose easily broken ( Zephaniah 3:17 ). It is thought a gross rudeness in the East to awaken one sleeping, especially a person of rank. my love —in Hebrew, feminine for masculine, the abstract for concrete, Jesus Christ being the embodiment of love itself ( Song of Solomon 3:5 ; Song of Solomon 8:7 ), where, as here, the context requires it to be applied to Him, not her. She too is "love" ( Song of Solomon 7:6 ), for His love calls forth her love. Presumption in the convert is as grieving to the Spirit as despair. The lovingness and pleasantness of the hind and roe ( Proverbs 5:19 ) is included in this image of Jesus Christ.
