Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 5:10

10. Destroy thou them , O God; let them fall by their own counsels : cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee .

Heb. hold th[illegible: 1+ letters] guilty, (i. e.) Condemn and punish them: Or, make them to offend, to wit, in their Counsels, as it follows: so as they may either be given up to bad and foolish Counsels; or fail in the execution of their wise or crafty Counsels. Or, make them desolate, as the word is used Ezek. 6. 6. Ioel. 1. 18.

(i. e.) Make their Counsels not only unsuccesful against me, but also destructive to themselves. Or, from their, &c. (i. e.) Let them fall short of their aims and designs. Or, because of their Counsels, which are ungodly and unjust, and so deserve destruction:

Out of thy Land, and from among thy People, whom they either infect or molest by their wicked courses.

Or, for or because of, as before.

Against thy Authority and declared Will concerning my advancement to the throne: which divers Israelites opposed against their own Consciences. See 2. Sam. 3. 8, 9, 10.
