2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day.
2 who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually.
2 All they do is think up new ways to be bad; they spend their days plotting war games.
2 Who plan evil things in their hearts; They continually gather together for war.
2 those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 140:2
Commentary on Psalm 140:1-7
(Read Psalm 140:1-7)
The more danger appears, the more earnest we should be in prayer to God. All are safe whom the Lord protects. If he be for us, who can be against us? We should especially watch and pray, that the Lord would hold up our goings in his ways, that our footsteps slip not. God is as able to keep his people from secret fraud as from open force; and the experience we have had of his power and care, in dangers of one kind, may encourage us to depend upon him in other dangers.
