10 They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.
10 They'll die violent deaths; jackals will tear them limb from limb.
10 They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals.
10 They will die by the sword and become the food of jackals.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 63:10
Commentary on Psalm 63:7-11
(Read Psalm 63:7-11)
True Christians can, in some measure, and at some times, make use of the strong language of David, but too commonly our souls cleave to the dust. Having committed ourselves to God, we must be easy and pleased, and quiet from the fear of evil. Those that follow hard after God, would soon fail, if God's right hand did not uphold them. It is he that strengthens us and comforts us. The psalmist doubts not but that though now sowing in tears, he should reap in joy. Messiah the Prince shall rejoice in God; he is already entered into the joy set before him, and his glory will be completed at his second coming. Blessed Lord, let our desire towards thee increase every hour; let our love be always upon thee; let all our enjoyment be in thee, and all our satisfaction from thee. Be thou all in all to us while we remain in the present wilderness state, and bring us home to the everlasting enjoyment of thee for ever.
