Psalms 37:12,13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The wicked plotteth against the just There is a rooted enmity in the seed of the wicked one against the righteous seed: their aim is, if they can, to destroy their righteousness; if that fail, then to destroy them. To this end they plot, or act with a great deal of policy and contrivance; and gnasheth upon him with his teeth Out of malice and rage. They join zeal and fury to craft and subtlety, inflamed with eager desire to have it in their power to destroy them, and full of wrath and indignation because it is not in their power. The Lord shall laugh at him Shall despise and deride all their hopes and endeavours against the good, as vain and foolish. For he seeth that his day is coming The day of his punishment. Thus, Jeremiah 5:31, Thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
