Verse 4. Preserve me from the violent man. The second clause of the first versicle of this verse is the same as the second versicle of Psalms 140:1 , which seems the burden of the song. --"Speaker's Commentary."
Verse 4. To overthrow my goings. To take my feet from under me, to destroy the basis of belief, the power of advance in good works, that we may turn back from the way of salvation, or fall upon it, or, at any rate, may go very slowly along it. --Neale and Littledale.

Verse 4. (first clause). A wise prayer. The wicked will slander, and oppress, or mislead, flatter and defile. No one can keep us but the Lord.
