Psalms 63:9,10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

But those that seek my soul, &c. That seek to take away my life; shall go into the lower parts of the earth Into the grave; and, if they repent not, into hell. God shall cut them off, and send them to their own place. Their enmity to David, and opposition to the counsel of God respecting him, he foresaw would be their death and their damnation, their ruin and their eternal ruin. They shall fall by the sword Shall die in battle, as he foretold 1 Samuel 26:10, and as was accomplished in Saul and his followers, who were David's greatest enemies. They shall be a portion for foxes The carcasses of some of them shall lie unburied upon the earth, and thereby shall become a prey to wild and ravenous beasts, and especially to foxes, which abounded in those parts.
