Salmos 64:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 64:5

They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter
Or "strengthen him" ^F3; that is, Saul, by making use of arguments and reasonings to induce him to go on in his wicked persecution of David; or they strengthened and hardened themselves in their wickedness, as Saul's courtiers and the enemies of Christ did, and as all wicked men do, when they observe the sentence against them is not speedily executed, ( Ecclesiastes 8:11 ) ;

they commune of laying snares privily;
that is, they conversed together, and consulted how to lay snares for the perfect man in the most private manner, that they might entrap him and destroy him;

they say, who shall see them?
either the snares laid, or the persons that laid them? None; no, not even God himself; see ( Psalms 10:11 Psalms 10:14 ) .

3 Eles afiam a língua como espadae apontam, como flechas, palavras envenenadas.

4 De onde estão emboscados atiram no homem íntegro;atiram de surpresa, sem nenhum temor.

5 Animam-se uns aos outros com planos malignos,combinam como ocultar as suas armadilhas,e dizem: “Quem as verá?”

6 Tramam a injustiça e dizem:“Fizemos um plano perfeito!”A mente e o coração de cada um deles o escondem!

7 Mas Deus atirará neles suas flechas;repentinamente serão atingidos.
