Psalms 59:14 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

And at evening let them return— This is a repetition of the 6th verse, but is to be understood in a different sense: The 6th verse is a real complaint of their fury and diligence in pursuing him; here he speaks of them with a kind of indifference and contempt; and as free from any apprehension of danger from them. "Let them, if they please, return in the evening, growl at me like dogs, and watch all the avenues of the city to take me: Yet like greedy dogs they shall want their food and wander about, as though shivering for hunger; for they shall not be satisfied, but murmur on account of their disappointment." The 15th verse should be rendered, They shall wander about, shivering for hunger, and because not satisfied they shall murmur. See Chandler and Houbigant.

Psalms 59:14

14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
