LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 4. Sins. Such excuses are always vain. Saint Jerome—God does not incline any to sin, as the Manichee elect pretended. Saint Augustine—The pride of the human heart would throw the blame of sin on any but itself. Bible.—Sometimes, fate, predestination, and so forth are charged with it. Our first parents excused themselves; but David candidly confessed his sins, and was presently pardoned. Bert.—Choicest. Hebrew also, “I will not eat of their most delicious meats.” I will have no society with libertines, (Bert.) nor with those who teach false doctrine. 2 John 10 and Titus 3:10.
