Psaume 71:13

13 Qu'ils soient confus, anéantis, ceux qui en veulent à ma vie! Qu'ils soient couverts de honte et d'opprobre, ceux qui cherchent ma perte!

Psaume 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.

Psaume 71:13 In-Context

11 Disant: Dieu l'abandonne; Poursuivez, saisissez-le; il n'y a personne pour le délivrer.

12 O Dieu, ne t'éloigne pas de moi! Mon Dieu, viens en hâte à mon secours!

13 Qu'ils soient confus, anéantis, ceux qui en veulent à ma vie! Qu'ils soient couverts de honte et d'opprobre, ceux qui cherchent ma perte!

14 Et moi, j'espérerai toujours, Je te louerai de plus en plus.

15 Ma bouche publiera ta justice, ton salut, chaque jour, Car j'ignore quelles en sont les bornes.
