Psalms 62:3,4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Here is a beautiful breaking off of the subject, but in reality carrying on the same glorious confidence, in this striking remonstrance with the enemies of God and of Christ. It is as if the soul in her triumphs exclaimed, How utterly fruitless, ye followers of sin, must be your attempts against the man settled in, and united to, the God of his salvation. All your efforts to cast him down are alike vain; but ye yourselves, like a wall out of its perpendicular, and whose foundation is in the dust, must assuredly fall, and be buried in your own ruin.

Psalms 62:3-4

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.b Selah.
