Psalms 64:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 64:6

They search out iniquities
The Targum adds,

``to destroy the just.''

Either occasions against them, by charging them with sin and hiring false witnesses against them, as did the enemies both of David and Christ; they sought for proper time and opportunity of committing the iniquities they were bent upon, and even searched for new sins, being inventors of evil things, ( Romans 1:30 ) ;

they accomplish a diligent search;
diligently searched out the perfect man, and found him; and also false witnesses against him, and carried their point; which was especially true with respect to Christ;

both the inward [thought] of everyone [of them], and the heart, [is]
deep;
being full of cunning, craftiness and wickedness, so as not to be searched out and fully known; see ( Psalms 5:9 ) ( Jeremiah 17:9 ) .

4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'

6 They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.

7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
