Psalms 119:118

Psa 119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood.

Ver. 118. Thou hast trodden down all them, &c. ] Thou, as a mighty king or conqueror, hast made use of them for a footstool, as Sapores, king of Persia, did Valentinian the Roman emperor, and as Tamerlane did Bajazet.

For their deceit is falsehood ] They think themselves to be out of the reach of thy rod, but they will find it somewhat otherwise.
