<p id="Ps64_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',64,'1-10');">Psa 64:1-10</a>.
|
|
<p> A prayer for deliverance from cunning and malicious enemies, with a confident view of their overthrow, which will honor God and give joy to the righteous.
|
|
<p><b>1. preserve...fear</b>—as well as the danger producing it.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_2"><b>2. insurrection</b>—literally, "uproar," noisy assaults, as well as their secret counsels.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_3"><b>3, 4.</b> Similar figures for slander (<a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',57,4);">Psa 57:4</a>; <a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',59,7);">59:7</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>bend</b>—literally, "tread," or, "prepared." The allusion is to the mode of bending a bow by treading on it; here, and in <a onclick="return mV('Psa',58,7);">Psa 58:7</a>, transferred to arrows.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_4"><b>4. the perfect</b>—one innocent of the charges made (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',18,23);">Psa 18:23</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>fear not</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',55,19);">Psa 55:19</a>), not regarding God.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_5"><b>5.</b> A sentiment here more fully presented, by depicting their deliberate malice.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_6"><b>6.</b> This is further evinced by their diligent efforts and deeply laid schemes.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_7"><b>7.</b> The contrast is heightened by representing God as using weapons like theirs.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_8"><b>8. their...tongue to fall,</b> etc.—that is, the consequences of their slanders, etc. (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',10,2);">Psa 10:2</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',31,16);">31:16</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>all that see...away</b>—Their partners in evil shall be terrified.
|
|
<p id="Ps64_9"><b>9, 10.</b> Men, generally, will acknowledge God's work, and the righteous, rejoicing in it, shall be encouraged to trust Him (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',58,10);">Psa 58:10</a>).
