Salmos 63:9

9 Mas los que para destrucción buscaron mi alma, Caerán en los sitios bajos de la tierra.

Salmos 63:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 63:9

But those [that] seek my soul to destroy it
Meaning his life; for as for his soul, that was immaterial and immortal, and could never be destroyed by man: but as for his natural life, his enemies laid snares for that, and sought to take it away, and nothing less would satisfy them;

shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
not the grave, whither the righteous go as well as the wicked; besides, by their being the portion of foxes, as follows, it seems that they should have no burial; but hell is meant, the bottomless pit. Some take it to be a prayer, as Kimchi and Ben Melech; "may they go", or "let them go" see ( Psalms 55:15 ) . The allusion may be thought to be to the death of Korah and his company.

Salmos 63:9 In-Context

7 Porque has sido mi socorro; Y así en la sombra de tus alas me regocijaré.
8 Está mi alma apegada á ti: Tu diestra me ha sostenido.
9 Mas los que para destrucción buscaron mi alma, Caerán en los sitios bajos de la tierra.
10 Destruiránlos á filo de espada; Serán porción de las zorras.
11 Empero el rey se alegrará en Dios; Será alabado cualquiera que por él jura: Porque la boca de los que hablan mentira, será cerrada.
