O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul - quoted mainly from Psalms 54:3. Instead of "strangers" there "the proud" stand here х zeediym (H2086), for zaariym (H2114)]; and instead of 'oppressor,' or "violent men" (the Hebrew is the same in both psalms), there is here 'the assembly (the Hebrew is singular) of violent men.' Compare Psalms 22:16.
And have not set thee before them. So Psalms 54:3.
