Contextual Overview

55 I called vpon thy name O Lorde out of the deepe pit. 56 Thou hast heard my voyce, and hast not turned away thyne eares from my sighing and crying. 57 Thou hast inclyned thy selfe vnto me when I called vpon thee: and hast said, feare not. 58 Thou (O Lorde) hast mayntayned the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my lyfe. 59 O Lorde, thou hast seene my wrong, take thou my cause vpon thee. 60 Thou hast well considered howe they go about to do me harme, and that all their counsels are against me. 61 Thou hast hearde their despitefull wordes O Lorde, yea and all the imaginations against me: 62 The lippes of mine enemies, and their deuises that they take against me al the day long. 63 Thou seest also their sitting downe and their rising vp, they make their songes of nothing but of me. 64 Rewarde them, O Lorde, according to the workes of their handes.

Bible Verse Review

lips: Psalms 59:7, Psalms 59:12, Psalms 140:3, Ezekiel 36:3

and: Jeremiah 18:18

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The lips of those that rose up against me,.... This is to be connected with the preceding words; and expresses the same thing in different language. The sense is, that the Lord heard the words which dropped from the lips of his enemies; their sarcasms, flouts, and jeers; their bitter reflections, severe invectives, and scornful language:

and their device against me all the day; or, "their meditation of ill against me"; or, "their speech", or discourse x; which all turned upon the same topic. Schultens y derives the word from the Arabic word which signifies to mock and scoff, or pursue anyone with ironical and satirical expressions; and so may intend here contumelious and reproachful language.

x הגיונם "meditationem istorum", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius Tremellius, Piscator "loquelam eorum", Michaelis. y Animadv. Philol. p. 436. "maledixit verborum contumelia insectatus fuit, peculiariter carmine seu satyra, et subsannavit, vituperavit", Golius, col. 2515.
