3 With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
3 They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.
3 barking their hate, nipping my heels - and for no reason!
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
3 They surround me with hateful words and fight against me for no reason.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 109:3
Commentary on Psalm 109:1-5
(Read Psalm 109:1-5)
It is the unspeakable comfort of all believers, that whoever is against them, God is for them; and to him they may apply as to one pleased to concern himself for them. David's enemies laughed at him for his devotion, but they could not laugh him out of it.
