"Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked,.... From falling into their hands, and the weight of them); and from their laying hands on him, being men of
power and authority; preserve me from the violent man: or men, everyone of them; See Gill on Psa 140:1 ; who have purposed to overthrow my goings: to supplant him; to cause him to stumble and fall, to his disgrace and reproach; and that they might take an advantage of him, and an occasion against him. Arama interprets it, to drive me out of the land of Israel; see Sa1 26:1 . So Christ's enemies thought to have supplanted him, and have found something against him, to accuse him of to Caesar, Mat 22:15 .
