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 os quais maquinam maldades no coração; estão sempre projetando guerras.

3 Aguçaram as línguas como a serpente; peçonha de áspides está debaixo dos seus lábios.

4 Guarda-me, ó Senhor, das mãos dos ímpios; preserva-me dos homens violentos, os quais planejaram transtornar os meus passos.

5 Os soberbos armaram-me laços e cordas; estenderam uma rede � beira do caminho; puseram-me armadilhas.

6 Eu disse, ao Senhor: Tu és o meu Deus; dá ouvidos, ó Senhor, � voz das minhas súplicas.
