Psalms 5:10 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Destroy. — Literally, make or count guilty.

Transgressions. — Literally, revolts, thus being in close synonymous parallelism with the next clause. Or else, as in margin and in ancient versions, LXX., Vulg., and Syriac, “Let them fall from their counsels:” i.e., “let their plots fail.”

On the imprecations in the Psalms see General Introduction, 6.

Psalms 5:10

10 Destroyd thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
