Verses 1-10

Psalms 64:0

The Wicked and their End

1. The power of the wicked displaced (Psalms 64:1-6 )

2. Their sudden end (Psalms 64:7-10 )

This Psalm stands in contrast with the preceding ones. The outward circumstances, the deeds and power of the wicked, are seen again. But suddenly the Lord will act and strike down the wicked. He will avenge His own elect, who cry day and night unto Him. (See Luke 18:1-7 . The widow in this parable is the godly Israelitish remnant.)
