Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Let them be: etc. "They shall be confounded," etc.: these are prophetic denunciations. Psalms 71:24, Psalms 6:10, Psalms 35:4, Psalms 35:26, Psalms 40:14, Psalms 40:15, Isaiah 41:11, Jeremiah 20:11
covered: Psalms 109:29, Psalms 132:18, 1 Peter 5:5
Reciprocal: Esther 9:2 - as sought Psalms 5:10 - let Psalms 25:3 - let Psalms 44:15 - covered Psalms 70:2 - Let Jeremiah 51:51 - shame John 8:9 - went out
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let them be confounded,.... See Psalms 70:2;
[and] consumed; like smoke; see Psalms 37:20; as antichrist will be with the breath of Christ's mouth, and the brightness of his coming, 2 Thessalonians 2:8;
that are adversaries to my soul; that hated him with a diabolical hatred, as the devil hates the souls of men, and who has his name "Satan" from the word here used; all wicked men are Satans, full of enmity against God, and all good men; and such were David's enemies, spiteful and malicious, and nothing would satisfy them but his life;
let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour; as with a garment:
that seek my hurt; see Psalms 35:26; as Absalom and his company; so Arama.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let them be confounded and consumed - See the notes at the similar passage in Psalms 35:4. The sentiment in this verse is the same; the language is slightly varied. See also Psalms 40:14, where the same sentiment occurs.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 71:13. Let them be confounded — They shall be confounded: these are prophetic denunciations.
