Psalms 119:95
_ _ Here, 1. David complains of the malice of his enemies: The wicked (and none but such would be enemies to so good a man) have waited for me to destroy me. They were very cruel, and aimed at no less than his destruction; they were very crafty, and sought all opportunities to do him a mischief; and they were confident (they expected, so some read it), that they should destroy him; they thought themselves sure of their prey. 2. He comforts himself in the word of God as his protection: “While they are contriving my destruction, I consider thy testimonies, which secure to me my salvation.” God's testimonies are then likely to be our support, when we consider them, and dwell in our thoughts upon them. |
- wicked:
Psalms 119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law. Psalms 119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart. Psalms 119:85-87 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law. ... They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. Psalms 10:8-10 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. ... He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. Psalms 27:2 When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Psalms 37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. Psalms 38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 1 Samuel 23:20-23 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part [shall be] to deliver him into the king's hand. ... See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah. 2 Samuel 17:1-4 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: ... And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. Matthew 26:3-5 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, ... But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar among the people. Acts 12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews. Acts 23:21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. Acts 25:3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
