Salmos 38:19

19 Tengo muchos enemigos agresivos;
me odian sin razón.

Salmos 38:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 38:19

But mine enemies [are] lively
Or "living" ^F17 or "live"; not in a spiritual sense; for they had no lively hope, nor living faith, but were dead in trespasses and sins; nor merely in a natural sense, or corporeally, so David was living himself; but in great prosperity and worldly happiness, and so were brisk and cheerful, and lived a merry and pleasent life;

[and] they are strong;
not only hale and robust in body, but abounded in riches and wealth, which are the strength of wicked men;

and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied;
that is, such as hated him without a cause, and made lies and falsehoods the reasons of it: these increased in numbers, or in their outward state and circumstances; see ( Psalms 73:4 Psalms 73:5 Psalms 73:7 Psalms 73:12 ) ( 69:4 ) .
