Gill's Notes on the Bible

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;

:-;

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 1 Samuel 26:1. So Christ's enemies thought to have supplanted him, and have found something against him, to accuse him of to Caesar, Matthew 22:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked ... - See the notes at Psalms 71:4. This is a repetition of the prayer in Psalms 140:1.

Who have purposed to overthrow my goings - To thrust me down as I go; to defeat my plans; to destroy me. They endeavor to prevent my accomplishing what I had designed to do.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 140:4. Preserve me from the violent man — Saul again; who was as headstrong and violent in all his measures, as he was cruel, and inflexibly bent on the destruction of David.
