Psalms 71:13

WEB

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

KJV

Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

Commentary

Let them be confounded,.... See Psa 70:2 ; and consumed; like smoke; see Psa 37:20 ; as antichrist will be with the breath of Christ 's mouth, and the brightness of his coming, Th2 2:8 ; that are adversaries to my soul; that hated him with a diabolical hatred, as the devil hates the souls of men, and who has his name "Satan" from the word here used; all wicked men are Satans, full of enmity against God, and all good men; and such were David's enemies, spiteful and malicious, and nothing would satisfy them but his life; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour; as with a garment: that seek my hurt; see Psa 35:26 ; as Absalom and his company; so Arama.
