Salmi 54:5

5 Egli farà ricadere il male sopra i miei nemici. Nella tua fedeltà, distruggili!

Salmi 54:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 54:5

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies
That eyed him as Saul did; that observed his haunts, where he resorted, and who were with him, as the Ziphites did under Saul's direction; as the Word ^F13 here used for "enemies" signifies: the mischief they had devised for him, he believed, would be returned upon their own heads; the pit they digged they would fall into themselves; and the net they had spread for others their own feet would be taken in. This was true as of David's enemies, so of Christ's, the wicked Jews, who narrowly watched him to take every advantage against him;

cut them off in thy truth;
root and branch, as Saul, and his family, and his courtiers, quickly were, according to the truth of promises made to David, and of threatenings unto them.

Salmi 54:5 In-Context

3 Poiché degli stranieri si son levati contro a me e de’ violenti cercano l’anima mia. Essi non tengono Iddio presente innanzi a loro. Sela.

4 Ecco, Iddio e colui che m’aiuta; il Signore è fra quelli che sostengon l’anima mia.

5 Egli farà ricadere il male sopra i miei nemici. Nella tua fedeltà, distruggili!

6 Con animo volonteroso io t’offrirò sacrifizi; celebrerò il tuo nome, o Eterno, perch’esso è buono;

7 perché m’ha liberato da ogni distretta, e l’occhio mio ha visto sui miei nemici quel che desideravo.
