Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
Ver. 3. Because of the voice of the enemy] He may very well intend Shimei's bitter revilings, 2 Samuel 16:5, &c.
For they cast iniquity upon me] They tumble it on me, as men do stones or anything else upon their besiegers, to endamage them; so did these, sin, shame, anything, upon innocent David, to make him odious.
And in wrath they hate me] Heb. they Satanically hate me.
