Gill's Notes on the Bible

For I have heard the slander of many,.... Both enemies and neighbours;

fear [was] on every side; his enemies were a "Magormissabib" to him,

Jeremiah 20:3; encompassed him around, so that he was in fear from every quarter;

while they took counsel together against me; how to apprehend him, and what to do with him;

they devised to take away my life; nothing short of that would satisfy; but life is in the hand of God; men may devise, but God disappoints, and his counsel stands; hence the psalmist was encouraged, after all, to trust in him, in this time of imminent danger, as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For I have heard the slander of many - The reproach; the false accusations; the unjust aspersions. We are here more definitely informed as to another of the sources of the trouble that came upon him. It was “slander.” He had already referred to “two” sources of trouble; one Psalms 31:11 that he was “reproached” by his friends and neighbors, and that his society was shunned by them; a second, that he was “forgotten” by those who ought to have remembered him, and that they treated him as though he were dead, Psalms 31:12. The third is referred to now; to wit, that he was the subject of “slander,” or of false reports. What was the “nature” of those false charges we are not informed. But it is not needful that we should know precisely what they were. It is enough, in order to see the depth and aggravation of his trouble, to know that he “was” exposed to this; and that, to all that he had to endure from other sources, there was this added - that his name was reproached and cast out as evil - that he was subjected to “slander,”

“Whose edge is sharper than the sword; whose tongue

Outvenoms all the worms of Nile; whose breath

Rides on the posting winds; and doth belie

All corners of the world.”

Cymbeline, Act iii., Sc. iv.

Fear was on every side - From the causes already specified. He knew not whom to trust. He seemed to have no friend. He was afraid, therefore, of every one that he met.

While they took counsel together against me - See the notes at Psalms 2:2. They entered into a conspiracy or combination.

They devised to take away my life - They devised measures, or they laid a plot, thus to kill me. These are the grounds of the earnest prayer which he urges in Psalms 31:9 : “Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 31:13. I have heard the slander of many — To this and the two foregoing verses the reader may find several parallels; Jeremiah 18:18-15, and ten first verses of Jeremiah 20:1-10. This has caused several to suppose that Jeremiah was the author of this Psalm.
