Psalmen 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.

Psalmen 71:13 In-Context

11 Zeggende: God heeft hem verlaten; jaagt na, en grijpt hem, want er is geen verlosser.
12 O God, wees niet verre van mij; mijn God! haast U tot mijn hulp.
13 Laat hen beschaamd worden, laat hen verteerd worden, die mijn ziel tegen zijn; laat hen met smaad en schande overdekt worden, die mijn kwaad zoeken.
14 Doch ik zal geduriglijk hopen, en zal al Uw lof nog groter maken.
15 Mijn mond zal Uw gerechtigheid vertellen, den gansen dag Uw heil; hoewel ik de getallen niet weet.
