Psalms 35:17,18 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Lord, how long wilt thou look on Like an idle spectator, without affording me any pity or help? Rescue my soul from their destructions Be pleased, at length, to vindicate my innocence from those who have already despoiled me of my peace and good name; my darling from the lions Namely, my soul or life, as it is in the former clause. Hebrew, my only one, for I am left alone, and forsaken by my friends, and have none to trust in but thee: (see on Psalms 22:21;) and now they seek, like so many rapacious lions, to devour me. I will give thee thanks in the congregation When I shall be restored to the liberty of the public assemblies and solemn feasts.
