Psalm 38:12

12 Tienden sus trampas los que quieren matarme;maquinan mi ruina los que buscan mi maly todo el día urden engaños.

Psalm 38:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 38:12

They also that seek after my life
His avowed and implacable enemies, whom nothing would satisfy but the taking away of his life: these came too near him; for these, he says,

lay snares [for me],
as Satan does for the souls of men, as the Jews did for Christ, and as wicked men do for the saints, ( Psalms 124:7 ) ;

and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things;
to the injury of his character and reputation:

and imagine deceits all the day long;
contrive artful schemes to deceive; see ( Psalms 35:20 ) .

Psalm 38:12 In-Context

10 Late mi corazón con violencia,las fuerzas me abandonan,hasta la luz de mis ojos se apaga.

11 Mis amigos y vecinos se apartan de mis llagas;mis parientes se mantienen a distancia.

12 Tienden sus trampas los que quieren matarme;maquinan mi ruina los que buscan mi maly todo el día urden engaños.

13 Pero yo me hago el sordo, y no los escucho;me hago el mudo, y no les respondo.

14 Soy como los que no oyenni pueden defenderse.
