Salmi 31:13

13 Perché odo il diffamare di molti, spavento m’è d’ogn’intorno, mentr’essi si consigliano a mio danno, e macchinano di tormi la vita.

Salmi 31:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:13

For I have heard the slander of many
Both enemies and neighbours;

fear [was] on every side;
his enemies were a "Magormissabib" to him, ( Jeremiah 20:3 ) ; encompassed him around, so that he was in fear from every quarter;

while they took counsel together against me;
how to apprehend him, and what to do with him;

they devised to take away my life;
nothing short of that would satisfy; but life is in the hand of God; men may devise, but God disappoints, and his counsel stands; hence the psalmist was encouraged, after all, to trust in him, in this time of imminent danger, as follows.

Salmi 31:13 In-Context

11 A cagione di tutti i miei nemici son diventato un obbrobrio, un grande obbrobrio ai miei vicini, e uno spavento ai miei conoscenti. Quelli che mi veggono fuori fuggon lungi da me.
12 Io son del tutto dimenticato come un morto; son simile a un vaso rotto.
13 Perché odo il diffamare di molti, spavento m’è d’ogn’intorno, mentr’essi si consigliano a mio danno, e macchinano di tormi la vita.
14 Ma io mi confido in te, o Eterno; io ho detto: Tu sei l’Iddio mio.
15 I miei giorni sono in tua mano; liberami dalla mano de’ miei nemici e dai miei persecutori.
