Psalms 63:9 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. Lower parts of the earth - They are appointed, in the just judgment of God, to destruction; they shall be slain and buried in the earth, and shall be seen no more. Some understand the passage as referring to the punishment of hell; which many supposed to be in the center of the earth.

So the old Psalter, - Thai sall entir in till lagher pine of hell. Lahher or laigher, lower, undermost.
