Psalm 31:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:13

For I have heard the slander of many
Both enemies and neighbours;

fear [was] on every side;
his enemies were a "Magormissabib" to him, ( Jeremiah 20:3 ) ; encompassed him around, so that he was in fear from every quarter;

while they took counsel together against me;
how to apprehend him, and what to do with him;

they devised to take away my life;
nothing short of that would satisfy; but life is in the hand of God; men may devise, but God disappoints, and his counsel stands; hence the psalmist was encouraged, after all, to trust in him, in this time of imminent danger, as follows.

Psalm 31:13 In-Context

11 A causa de todos mis adversarios, he llegado a ser objeto de oprobio, especialmente para mis vecinos, y causa de espanto para mis conocidos; los que me ven en la calle huyen de mí.

12 Como un muerto soy olvidado, sin ser recordado, soy semejante a un vaso roto.

13 Porque he oído la calumnia de muchos, el terror está por todas partes; mientras traman juntos contra mí, planean quitarme la vida.

14 Pero yo, oh SEÑOR, en ti confío; digo: Tú eres mi Dios.

15 En tu mano están mis años ; líbrame de la mano de mis enemigos, y de los que me persiguen.
