Psalm 63:9

9 Pero los que traman destruirme acabarán arruinados;
descenderán a las profundidades de la tierra.

Psalm 63:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 63:9

But those [that] seek my soul to destroy it
Meaning his life; for as for his soul, that was immaterial and immortal, and could never be destroyed by man: but as for his natural life, his enemies laid snares for that, and sought to take it away, and nothing less would satisfy them;

shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
not the grave, whither the righteous go as well as the wicked; besides, by their being the portion of foxes, as follows, it seems that they should have no burial; but hell is meant, the bottomless pit. Some take it to be a prayer, as Kimchi and Ben Melech; "may they go", or "let them go" see ( Psalms 55:15 ) . The allusion may be thought to be to the death of Korah and his company.

7 Como eres mi ayudador,
canto de alegría a la sombra de tus alas.

8 Me aferro a ti;
tu fuerte mano derecha me mantiene seguro.

9 Pero los que traman destruirme acabarán arruinados;
descenderán a las profundidades de la tierra.

10 Morirán a espada
y se convertirán en comida de chacales.

todos los que confían en él lo alabarán,
mientras que los mentirosos serán silenciados.
