For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord
The particle "lo", or "behold", is not used for the sake of God,
but for the sake of men; to excite their attention, and to
observe unto them that those who are everlastingly destroyed are
the enemies of the Lord; who are enemies in their minds by wicked
works, yea, enmity itself against God; and therefore their
perdition is just as well as certain; sooner or later these shall
be brought forth and slain before him; and for the certainty of
it is repeated,
for, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
the Targum adds, in the world to come: "all the workers of
iniquity shall be scattered"; one from another, and not be able
to unite and combine together against the saints, as they have
done; or they shall be separated from them at the last day, being
placed at Christ's left hand; and shall not stand in judgment,
nor in the congregation of the righteous; and so the Targum,
``and all the workers of iniquity shall be separated from the congregation of the righteous;''see ( Psalms 1:5 ) .
