Psalms62:3

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man ? ye shall be slain all of you : as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence .

Mine Enemies: To whom now he turneth his Speech.

(i. e.) Against me, a Man like your selves, whom common Humanity obligeth you to Pity; a single Man, who is no fit match for you, a Poor, Contemptible, miserable and impotent Creature, as the word Man is oft used, as Psal. 9. 20. and 82. 7. &c. a dead Dog, or a Flea, or a Partridge, as, upon the same Account he calleth himself 1 Sam. 24. 14. and 26. 20. whom you cannot thus pursue, without reflecting Disparagement upon your selves, as he there saith.

The Mischief which you design for me, shall fall upon your own Heads. And accordingly Saul and the generality of these Men were slain, 1 Sam. 31

(i. e.) As suddenly and easily overthrown as these are.

Marginal references: Isa. 30. 13.
