Psalms 59:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They return at evening— Saul sent once to destroy him, and the messengers went back to inform him that he was ill; but they returned in the evening, to bring him even in his bed. Mudge renders it, They come about every evening. The verb rendered, make a noise, in the next clause, is used to denote the confused hum and noise of an assembled croud. The Psalmist compares the muttered threats of his enemies to the growlings or snarlings of a dog, ready to bite and tear any person; and the comparison is just and natural.

Psalms 59:6

6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
