Psalms 49:5 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Wherefore should I fear, &c.— Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, when the iniquity of those who lie in wait for me, surrounds me? Bishop Hare. Houbigant renders the last clause, Because trouble surrounds me. The iniquity of my heels, is agreeable to the Hebrew; but the meaning seems to be what the versions above have assigned; "The iniquity of those unjust persons who are at my heels, and are ready to supplant and destroy me."
