Psalms54:3

3. For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul; they have not set God before them Selah.

The Ziphites, whom, though Israelites, he calls Strangers in regard of their Barbarous and perfidious Disposition, and Carriage towards him, by which they shewed themselves to be estranged from God, as the wicked are said to be, Psal. 58. 3. and from the Common-wealth of Israel, and from all the Laws of Piety and Humanity. For which Causes he calls such Persons Heathens, Psal. 59. 5. and elsewhere.

They cast off all Regard to thy Presence and Authority, and all Fear of thy Judgements.

Marginal references: Psal. 86. 14.
