Psalms 9:15-17 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

What a sure destruction must overtake all the enemies of God and of his Christ. In this life misery, and the evils they intend for others, falling upon themselves; and in that which is to come, everlasting destruction. It should seem that the word Higgaion joined to Selah, was intended as if to make a double pause of entreaty on the Reader, to mark and consider the awfulness of such conduct, as opposing God and his Christ. Similar to that solemn call; Now consider this ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there he none to deliver, Psalms 50:22.

Psalms 9:15-17

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.d Selah.

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
