āThey that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty - literally, āMore than the hairs of my head are my haters falsely (those who hate me falsely); strong are those destroying me; my enemies.ā
The idea is, that those who were numbered among his foes without any just provocation on his part were so numerous and strong that he could not contend with them.ā
āFor strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before themā
āLet death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.ā
