19 See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me!
19 Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me.
19 Do you see how many people Have it in for me? How viciously they hate me?
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.
19 See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 25:19
Commentary on Psalm 25:15-22
(Read Psalm 25:15-22)
The psalmist concludes, as he began, with expressing dependence upon God, and desire toward him. It is good thus to hope, and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. And if God turns to us, no matter who turns from us. He pleads his own integrity. Though guilty before God, yet, as to his enemies, he had the testimony of conscience that he had done them no wrong. God would, at length, give Israel rest from all their enemies round about. In heaven, God's Israel will be perfectly redeemed from all troubles. Blessed Saviour, thou hast graciously taught us that without thee we can do nothing. Do thou teach us how to pray, how to appear before thee in the way which thou shalt choose, and how to lift up our whole hearts and desires after thee, for thou art the Lord our righteousness.
