Psalms 11:6 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Rain — Send them plentifully, swiftly, and suddenly, as rain commonly falls from heaven. Snares — Grievous plagues or judgments, which are called snares, because wicked men are often surprized with them when they least expect them. And because they cannot escape them, or get out of them; but are held fast and destroyed by them. Horrible tempests — Dreadful judgments so called, in allusion to the destruction of Sodom by these means. But this he seems to speak not so much of present calamities, as of eternal punishments. This — Is their portion, and as it were the meat and drink appointed them by God.

Psalms 11:6

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horribleb tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
