Salmos 140:4

4 Guárdame, SEÑOR, de las manos del impío; protégeme de los hombres violentos, que se han propuesto hacerme tropezar.

Salmos 140:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 140:4

Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked
From falling into their hands, and the weight of them}; and from their laying hands on him, being men of power and authority;

preserve me from the violent man:
or men, everyone of them; (See Gill on Psalms 140:1);

who have purposed to overthrow my goings:
to supplant him; to cause him to stumble and fall, to his disgrace and reproach; and that they might take an advantage of him, and an occasion against him. Arama interprets it, to drive me out of the land of Israel; see ( 1 Samuel 26:1 1 Samuel 26:9 ) . So Christ's enemies thought to have supplanted him, and have found something against him, to accuse him of to Caesar, ( Matthew 22:15-22 ) .

Salmos 140:4 In-Context

2 que traman maldades en su corazón; que cada día provocan guerras.
3 Aguzan su lengua como serpiente; veneno de víbora hay bajo sus labios. (Selah)
4 Guárdame, SEÑOR, de las manos del impío; protégeme de los hombres violentos, que se han propuesto hacerme tropezar.
5 Los soberbios han ocultado trampa y cuerdas para mí; han tendido red al borde del sendero; me han puesto lazos. (Selah)
6 Dije al SEÑOR: Tú eres mi Dios; escucha, oh SEÑOR, la voz de mis súplicas.
