Psalm 58
David describes his enemies, ver. 1-5. Foretells their ruin,
ver. 6-9. Which would be to the comfort of good men, and to the
glory of God, ver. 10, 11. To the chief musician, Al-taschith,
Michtam of David.
Verse 1. O congregation - The word seems to point at Saul's Judges and
counsellors; who met together to consult what they should do
against David. Sons of men - So he calls them; to mind them that
they were men, and must give an account to God for all their hard
speeches.
Verse 2. Heart - With free choice and consent. Hands - He intimates that
they did great wrong under the pretense of justice, and while they
seemed exactly to weigh the true proportion between the actions
and the recompenses allotted to them, they turned the scale; and
pronounced an unjust sentence. Land - Or, in this land, where God
is present, and where you have righteous laws to govern you.
Verse 3. Estranged - From God, and from all goodness. Their very
natures are corrupt, even from their birth: they are the wicked
offspring of sinful parents. Astray - By actual sins, from their
childhood, as soon as ever they were capable of the exercise of
reason.
Verse 4. Poison - Their malicious disposition.
Verse 5. Not hearken - As they commonly say of the adders, such really
are these men: deaf to all my counsels, to their own consciences,
and to God's law. Of the charming or enchanting of serpents,
mention is made both in other places of scripture, and in all sorts
of authors, ancient and modern, Hebrew and Arabick, and Greek
and Latin. And particularly the Arabick writers (to whom these
creatures were best known) name some sorts of serpents, among
which the adder is one, which they call deaf, not because they are
dull of hearing, but, as one of them expressly faith, because they
will not be charmed.
Verse 6. Their teeth - Their powerful instruments of doing mischief.
Verse 7. Melt away - As waters arising from melted snow, which at first
run with great force, but are suddenly gone.
Verse 8. Melteth - Which is quickly dissolved.
Verse 9. Before - Before your pots can be heated. Take them - Violently
and irresistibly. Living - Alive, as he did Korah.
Verse 10. Rejoice - For the blessed effects of it; the vindication of God's
honour, and the deliverance of himself and of all good men. Wash
- There shall be so great a slaughter of his enemies that he might,
if he pleased, wash his feet in their blood.
