Psalms 62:3 - Exposition

How long will ye imagine mischief agaiust a man? rather, How long will ye assault (or, set upon ) a man ? Attack him, that is—seek to do him grievous hurt, as ye are attacking me. Ye shall be slain all of you; rather, that ye may crush him, all of you together . The hope of the conspirators under Absalom was in their united strength. As a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. The words supplied in the Authorized Version should be omitted. It is David who is viewed by his enemies as a bulged wall (see Isaiah 30:15 ) or a tottering fence, which it requires only a strong push to throw down.
