Psalms 38:12
Ver. 12. They also that seek after my life,.... His avowed and implacable enemies, whom nothing would satisfy but the taking away of his life: these came too near him; for these, he says,
lay snares [for me], as Satan does for the souls of men, as the Jews did for Christ, and as wicked men do for the saints, Ps 124:7;
and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things; to the injury of his character and reputation:
and imagine deceits all the day long; contrive artful schemes to deceive; see Ps 35:20.
