Psalm 71:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 71:13

Let them be confounded
See ( Psalms 70:2 ) ;

[and] consumed;
like smoke; see ( Psalms 37:20 ) ; as antichrist will be with the breath of Christ's mouth, and the brightness of his coming, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:8 ) ;

that are adversaries to my soul;
that hated him with a diabolical hatred, as the devil hates the souls of men, and who has his name "Satan" from the word here used; all wicked men are Satans, full of enmity against God, and all good men; and such were David's enemies, spiteful and malicious, and nothing would satisfy them but his life;

let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour;
as with a garment:

that seek my hurt;
see ( Psalms 35:26 ) ( Psalms 109:18 Psalms 109:19 ) ; as Absalom and his company; so Arama.
