Contextual Overview

1 In thee O God I haue put my trust, let me neuer be put to confusion: 2 ridde me and deliuer me in thy ryghteousnesse, incline thine eare vnto me, and saue me. 3 Be thou my strong holde whervnto I may alway resort: thou hast geuen a charge to saue me, for thou art my house of defence, and my castell. 4 Delyuer me O my Lorde out of the hande of the vngodly: out of the hande of the vnryghteous and cruell man. 5 For thou O Lorde God art the thyng that I long for: thou art my hope euen from my youth. 6 Through thee haue I ben mayntayned euer since I was borne: thou art he that toke me out of my mothers wombe, my praise shalbe alway of thee. 7 I am become as it were a monster vnto many: but my sure trust is in thee. 8 Oh let my mouth be fylled: with thy prayse and glorie all the day long. 9 Cast me not away in the tyme of age: forsake me not when my strength fayleth me. 10 For myne enemies speake against me: and they that lay awayte for my soule take their counsayle together.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For mine enemies speak against, me,.... Or "say unto me" y what is expressed in the following verse, "God hath forsaken him"; and so these words are a reason of the above petitions: or "mine enemies speak to me"; or "of me" z; not good, but evil, and so the Targum paraphrases it,

"for mine enemies speak evil against me;''

or concerning me. David had his enemies, and many, as Ahithophel, and others, who spake against him to the people, and thereby drew many with them into rebellion against him; and particularly Shimei spoke against him, and cursed him, calling him a bloody man, a man of Belial,

2 Samuel 16:7;

and they that lay wait for my soul; or "life"; that laid snares for him; or lay in ambush, and sought for an opportunity to take away his life: or "they that keep my soul", or "life" a; that were his bodyguards that were about his person for the preservation of him; and so the Targum seems to understand it;

take counsel together; lay schemes and form plots how to destroy him, as Ahithophel did, 2 Samuel 16:20.

y אמרו לי "dixerunt mihi", Montanus. z "De me loquuti sunt, vel loquuntur", Tigurine version, Junius Tremellius, Gejerus, Michaelis. a שמרי נפשי "custodientes animam meam", Pagninus, Montanus "custodiebant", V. L.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For mine enemies speak against me - That is, they said substantially, as it is stated in Psalms 71:11, that God had forsaken him, and that therefore, they would arise and punish him, or treat him as an outcast from God.

And they that lay wait for my soul - For my life; or, to take my life. The margin here - as the Hebrew - is, “watch,” or “observe.” The “watchers for my life;” that is, they who watch for an opportunity to take my life, or to destroy me.

Take counsel together - About the best means of accomplishing their object.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 71:10. Lay wait for my soul — They seek to destroy my life.
