<p>Here, 1. David complains of the malice of his enemies: <i>The wicked</i> (and none but such would be enemies to so good a man) <i>have waited for me to destroy me</i>. They were very cruel, and aimed at no less than his destruction; they were very crafty, and sought all opportunities to do him a mischief; and they were <i>confident</i> (they <i>expected</i>, so some read it), that they should destroy him; they thought themselves sure of their prey. 2. He comforts himself in the word of God as his protection: “While they are contriving my destruction, <i>I consider thy testimonies</i>, which secure to me my salvation.” God’s testimonies are <i>then</i> likely to be our support, when we consider them, and dwell in our thoughts upon them.</p>
